2012 Map of Ferriday South

About this map

Ferriday and the low-lying basins of Concordia Parish are defined by an intricate network of waterways including Bayou Cocodrie and Lake Concordia. This 2012 survey illustrates the settlement patterns of the Mississippi River floodplain, where roads like Mill Town Rd and Poole Rd navigate the wetlands. The transition from established neighborhoods in Ridgecrest and Sycamore to the river's edge reveals the importance of shoreline management, notably at the Marengo Bend Revetment. Several cemeteries, such as Turner Acres Cem and Saint James Cem, serve as critical points for local history and genealogical research. The presence of the Concordia Parish Airport and Delta Ultralight Airport highlights the region's modern infrastructure, while landings such as Sycamore Landing and Jeffries Landing connect the local economy to the Mississippi River at Saint Catherine Bend.
