1994 Map of Lake Bruin

About this map

Thistle Ridge Plantation and Mound Plantation anchor a landscape defined by the complex hydrology of the Mississippi River floodplain in the mid-1990s. The terrain is marked by a intricate network of bayous and oxbow lakes, most notably Lake Bruin and the St Peter Lake system. The map reveals a transition between agricultural land and swampy lowlands, where Big Choctaw Bayou and Little Choctaw Bayou meander through the parish. Significant local infrastructure is evident near St Joseph, with the massive Levee protecting the low-lying settlements of Locust Ridge and Denhart. Genealogists may find value in the presence of scattered family-linked sites such as Gibson Plantation and small burial grounds including Cross Keys Cem and Oriental Cem, which reflect the long-standing community structure of Tensas Parish.
