2020 Map of Glen Allan

About this map

Lake Washington, a massive oxbow lake of the Mississippi River, dominates this Mississippi Delta landscape, defining the layout of local settlements and agriculture. Along its northern curve, the community of Chatham sits near Byrne Lake and the Metcalfe Cem, while Erwin and Foote occupy the eastern shore. This 2020 map reflects a region deeply shaped by its alluvial history, where the wide, fertile spaces between the Mississippi River and Steele Bayou are organized by long-standing plantation and farming boundaries. To the south, the village of Glen Allan stands near the junction of Washington Bayou, which drains the southern end of the oxbow. Smaller communities like Marathon and Hampton are situated along the drainage of Steele Bayou, while the western edge of the quadrangle shows the river's border with Arkansas, including the distinct Kentucky Bend Bar.
