2018 Map of Fortune Fork
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
Roundaway Bayou and a complex network of wetlands define the landscape of Madison Parish in this modern survey. The area around Fortune Fork is characterized by its agricultural heritage, evidenced by the presence of the Red Beard Dusting Service Airport and numerous rural roads like Sevier-Watts Rd and Afton Rd. The topography is heavily influenced by oxbow formations and meandering waterways, including Horseshoe Lake and Alligator Lake, which suggest the historic path of larger river systems. Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial sites such as Mount Celia Cem near the northern border and Montrose Cem further south. The map provides a clear view of the transition between the managed farmland and the dense bottomland hydrology of Brushy Bayou and the Roundaway Bayou Vidal Cutoff.
