2018 Map of Mer Rouge

About this map

Mer Rouge serves as a focal point in Morehouse Parish, surrounded by a complex network of waterways including Bayou Bartholomew and the intricate channels of The Glades. The landscape transitions from the developed eastern edge of Bastrop to the open expanse of Prairie Mer Rouge, revealing a region shaped by both its agricultural roots and its reliance on the bayou systems. For those studying local history, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, such as Dunmore Cem and Mer Rouge Cem, alongside small rural settlements like Stampley and Galion. Transport and local commerce are evident through the Arkla Flyers Inc Airport and the dense web of parish roads, while family-named routes like Sonny Boy Yeldell Rd and Fancher Rd provide a clear view of land division and local habitation in the modern era.
