About this map

The village of Grand Cane serves as the focal point for this section of DeSoto Parish, where the local road network and railroad corridor converge amidst a landscape of winding watercourses. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of the region, anchored by the wide Southerland Bottom and the meandering Bayou Grand Cane. The terrain is defined by several smaller tributaries including Cook Cr, Wallace Cr, and Little Bayou Na Benchasse, which thread through the rural countryside.

Local family history and community roots are preserved through several burial sites and landmarks, such as Zion Hill Cem, Friendship Cem, and Cook Cem. The map also documents modern aviation infrastructure with the C E 'Rusty' Williams Airport located east of the main settlement. Notable water features like Bagley Pond and Rogers Pond are interspersed throughout the township and range divisions, providing a clear view of the area's land use and natural hydrology in the early twenty-first century.
