2020 Map of Gilbert

About this map

Gilbert serves as a primary hub in this low-lying region of Franklin Parish, where the local economy and landscape are shaped by an intricate network of waterways. The settlement of Chase sits to the north, while the winding course of the Bayou Macon River defines the eastern boundary of the survey. The terrain is characterized by numerous slow-moving water bodies, including Stokes Bayou, Ash Slough, and Black Bayou, which drain the surrounding agricultural lands. This 2020 map documents the modern footprint of rural Louisiana, showing the persistence of local landmarks such as Chase Cem and the waters of Turkey Creek Lake. The layout of roads like Dummy Line Rd and Turn Row Rd reflects the long-standing agricultural patterns of the delta, while the presence of the Po in Gilbert marks the town as a focal point for the surrounding countryside of Jigger and Brownell.
