2018 Map of Louise

About this map

The town of Louise serves as the primary hub in this portion of the Mississippi Delta, situated where Silver Creek meanders through the alluvial landscape. This survey documents the intersection of agricultural land and critical water management infrastructure, most notably the massive Will M. Whittington Auxiliary Channel and its accompanying W Levee Rd. For genealogists and local historians, several family-named burial sites are recorded across the terrain, including Huddleston Cem and Balup Cem north of town, and Goshen Cem to the south. Small rural communities and historic points like Anchorage, Craig, and Patosi are connected by a network of local routes with distinctive names such as Good Luck Rd and Blue Ruin Rd. The map illustrates the region's heavy reliance on flood control, with levee systems protecting the drainage basins of Five Mile Lake and the surrounding farmland.
