About this map

Gretna Green and Justina sit within a landscape defined by the intricate hydrology of the Tensas and Franklin Parish borderlands. This 2020 survey illustrates a region where life follows the winding paths of Little Choctaw Bayou and Big Choctaw Bayou. The terrain is characterized by numerous oxbow features and depressions such as Pecan Brake, Wilson Lake, and Lake Black Dog, reflecting the alluvial history of the Mississippi River delta plain.

Small rural clusters like Shady Grove, Ashland, and Mayflower are connected by a network of parish roads, including Trevillion Rd and Mayflower Rd. For those researching local history, the Mayflower Cem serves as a vital point of reference. The map details the transition between agricultural fields and the wetlands of Dickard Bayou and Crooked Bayou, documenting the persistent relationship between these settlements and the surrounding water-rich environment.
