2020 Map of Mach Branch

About this map

Tulla anchors the northeastern corner of this landscape in Beauregard Parish, where a dense network of watercourses defines the low-lying terrain. The drainage pattern is intricate, characterized by numerous branches and gullies such as Mach Br, Hickory Br, and Sheep Pen Gully. These natural features, along with Mayhaw Br and Cowpen Cr, suggest a land historically shaped by seasonal water flow and wetlands. For genealogists, the map identifies small, localized burial sites including Bishop Cem and Havens Cem, often the only remaining markers of early rural families in the area. The road network, featuring names like S Mennonite Rd and Clifford Cooley Rd, reflects a pattern of large-lot land divisions and remote homesteads scattered between the various forks of Wild Cow Br and Spring Br.
