About this map

Bayou Bartholomew meanders through the heart of Morehouse Parish, defining a landscape shaped by the alluvial patterns of the Mississippi Delta region. The village of Mer Rouge serves as a central hub, situated alongside the Prairie Mer Rouge and the modern operations of the Arkla Flyers Inc Airport. This survey provides a clear view of the parish's settlement structure, from the larger concentration at Bastrop to smaller hamlets like Log Cabin, Stampley, and Galion.

Water dominates the local geography, with features such as Handy Brake, Bayou de Glaize, and The Glades illustrating the complex drainage of this low-lying terrain. For those tracing family history, the map precisely locates several burial sites, including Mer Rouge Cem, Dunmore Cem, and Cooper Lake Cem. The road network, including names like Sonny Boy Yeldell Rd and Girl Scout Rd, reflects a mix of established thoroughfares and local rural routes that connect these long-standing agricultural communities.
