1983 Map of Ferriday North

About this map

Ferriday serves as the focal point of this Mississippi River delta survey, where the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor intersects a landscape defined by complex water systems and agricultural levees. The town's grid, featuring Virginia Ave and Georgia Ave, is anchored by essential local institutions like the Parish Hospital and Parish Trade Sch. Outside the main settlement, the terrain transitions into the backwater basins of Panola Brake and Opossum Bayou, punctuated by smaller community nodes such as Clayton and Red Gum. This 1983 edition highlights the area's ongoing relationship with its geography, documenting a network of Landing Strips and the prominent Rd On Levee. Genealogy researchers will find localized landmarks including Rose Hill Ch and several burial sites like Rogers Cem and Calhoun Cem, which help pin down family locations across Concordia Parish.
