About this map

Bayou Macon winds through this section of Louisiana, serving as the defining border between West Carroll and East Carroll parishes. The town of Epps is the primary settlement, situated at the junction of Powell Rd and Parish Rd 118, where a grid of local streets like Locust St and Woodlawn St centers the community. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Alligator Bayou, Cypress Bayou, and Joes Bayou, which historically shaped the agricultural and transport patterns of the region.

Local history is preserved in several rural burial sites, including Palestine Cem and Seven Star Cem near the southern boundary. To the east, Epps Ferry and the Monticello Flying Service highlight different eras of regional transit and commerce. Smaller settlements such as Mitchiner and Warden mark the intersections of rural parish roads, providing clear points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots along the Poverty Point Pkwy corridor.
