2012 Map of Ferriday North

About this map

The Tensas River meanders through the alluvial landscape of Concordia Parish, defining the northern geography above the growing hub of Ferriday. This early 21st-century survey documents a region defined by its relationship to water and agriculture, where large lakes like Lake Concordia and Carroll Lake sit alongside smaller bayous such as Opossum Bayou and Kimball Bayou. The settlement pattern follows the higher ground and road networks, with established communities like Clayton and West Ferriday serving as anchors. Local genealogy and land use are evidenced by family-named sites like Calhoun Cem and Rogers Cem, while the presence of Dunns Airport and Summerell Airport reflects the ongoing importance of crop dusting and local aviation in this delta environment. The map also highlights distinctive landforms within the river system, including Vidal Island and Middle Ground.
