2020 Map of Fortune Fork

About this map

Roundaway Bayou and Brushy Bayou dominate this Madison Parish landscape, winding through an intricate network of wetlands and agricultural tracts. The terrain is defined by the legacy of river movement, seen in the curved lot lines and the Roundaway Bayou Vidal Cutoff at the southern edge. The small settlement of Fortune Fork sits in the northeast, near the Mount Cella Cem, while the Montrose Cem lies further south along the bayou banks. This 2020 survey illustrates the modern rural infrastructure of the region, including the Red Beard Dusting Service Airport, which supports the local agricultural economy. Genealogists and historians will find interest in the road network, from the historic alignment of Old US Hwy 65 to local routes like Barnes Crossing Rd and Sevier-Watts Rd, which trace the boundaries of long-established land holdings near Alligator Lake.
