About this map

Saint Joseph stands as a primary focal point in this Tensas Parish landscape, situated near the sweeping oxbow of Lake Bruin and the Andrews Bayou drainage. The terrain is defined by the complex hydrography of the Mississippi River floodplain, characterized by an intricate network of waterways including Big Choctaw Bayou, Van Buren Bayou, and the Lake Saint Peter Canal. This 2015 survey reveals a pattern of rural settlement and agriculture, with small communities like Maryland, Crimea, and Locust Ridge connected by local routes such as La-605 and La-3024.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds, such as Thistle Ridge Cem, Gold Bell Cem, and Oneonta Cem. The infrastructure of the region is further detailed through features like Hubbard Bridge and the Tensas Flying Service, reflecting the area's continued reliance on both water-based geography and local aviation for its economic and social connectivity.
