2020 Map of Jeanette

About this map

Jennette and Shearerville anchor the southern landscape of this Delta region, where the crossing of Interstate 40 and Highway 70 defines the modern transport corridor. The terrain is a complex network of wetlands and drainage, dominated by the meandering course of Blackfish Bayou and the smaller Wildcat Bayou. This environment is characterized by numerous small lakes and oxbows, including Holden Lake, Buck Lake, and Shell Lake at the southwestern corner. Historically oriented toward agricultural land use, the map reveals a scattering of small settlements and clusters such as Dixie, Lansing, and Crittenden. Family-named landmarks and local roads like Bings Store Rd and Johnny Holmes Rd reflect a deeply rooted rural community. Genealogists will find a high density of rural cemeteries throughout the quadrangle, from Mount Beulah Cem in the northwest to Pilgrim Rest Cem near the center, marking the sites of community congregations and family plots across the alluvial plain.
