2012 Map of Mauriceville

About this map

Adams Bayou and Little Cypress Bayou anchor the low-lying drainage patterns of this Orange County landscape. The area is defined by a network of rural settlements and residential developments like Mauriceville and Forest Heights that have grown along established transit corridors. Family history and local heritage are anchored by several legacy sites, including Wilkinson Cem and the Parish Cem. Smaller community hubs such as Lemonville, Gratis, and Peveto illustrate the dispersed nature of the county's early development. The drainage of Gum Gully and the course of Cole Cr further delineate the terrain, showing how water management and natural hydrology influenced the placement of farms and homesteads in the region.
