2015 Map of Laark

About this map

Laark stands as the primary settlement in this corner of the Mississippi Delta, positioned near the boundary of Morehouse Parish and West Carroll Parish. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways including Shackleford Bayou, Dry Bayou, and Coffee Bayou, which drain toward the Boeuf River in the southeast. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain heavily influenced by the drainage patterns of the lowland South, where features like Crane Lake and Black Pond Slough break the grid of section lines and local roads. The map's detail provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure, from the winding path of La Ark Rd to family-named landmarks like Armstrong Rd and Hance Coleman Rd, which reflect the localized nature of the area's agricultural and homesteading history.
