2020 Map of Lamar
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
The low-lying wetlands of Franklin and Madison Parishes are meticulously documented here, dominated by the winding course of Bayou Macon along the eastern boundary. This alluvial landscape is characterized by a complex network of drainage features, including Hurricane Bayou, Turkey Creek, and numerous secondary waterways like Frog Island Slough and Bakers Brake. These names reflect the historical challenge of managing water in the Mississippi Delta region, where the terrain transitions between seasonally flooded basins and slightly higher ground suitable for agriculture and settlement.
