2018 Map of Lamar

About this map

Bayou Macon defines the eastern boundary of this Delta landscape, winding along the border between Franklin and Madison Parishes. The small settlements of Lamar and Bakers occupy the higher ground east of the extensive wetland networks of Hurricane Slough and Martin Slough. The area is characterized by its complex hydrology, where sluggish waterways like Rowing Bayou and Frog Island Slough dictate the placement of roads and farms. To the south, Longview sits near the confluence of local drainages, while the Friendship Cem and Oligrow Airport serve as central community landmarks. The map details a transition from the lower bayou country to the elevation of Hill Ridge, illustrating how the agricultural layout follows the subtle natural rises in this water-dominated environment.
