2024 Map of Frenchmans Bayou

About this map

Frenchmans Bayou flows through a landscape defined by the shifting meanders and oxbow lakes of the Mississippi River delta. This modern survey illustrates a network of small agricultural settlements and crossroads including Joiner, Saint Thomas, and Meneshea, which are linked by local connectors like State Hwy 308 and Old River Rd. The intricate hydrology of the region is evident in the presence of Mink Lake, Stave Lake, and Meneshea Lake, remnants of the river's historical path. Near the state boundary, the map details the complex geography of Centennial Island and Brandywine Island, separated by the dramatic curve of Centennial Bend. Genealogical interest is anchored by the Rupe Cem and the scattered hamlets of Lambethville and Stacy, providing a clear view of current property boundaries and rural infrastructure in Mississippi and Crittenden counties.
