1999 Map of Monroe South

About this map

The Ouachita River serves as the central artery for this late 20th-century landscape, dividing the urban centers of West Monroe and Monroe from the sprawling wetlands and bayous to the south and east. The river's influence on the local economy and development is evident in the dense street grids and numerous educational institutions like South Monroe Jr High Sch and Terzia High Sch. Further south, the transition from urban to rural is marked by the winding courses of Youngs Bayou, Mouchoir Bayou, and Petticoat Bayou, which drain into the extensive Russell Sage State Wildlife Management Area.
