2017 Map of Montrose

About this map

Montrose serves as the primary hub in this corner of Ashley County, where the intersection of regional road networks meets a complex landscape of waterways and alluvial flats. The settlement of Boydell sits to the north along the county line, while the smaller community of Cosgrove is positioned to the east. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Bayou Bartholomew and Big Bayou, which dictate the local drainage patterns and land use. For those looking into family histories, the map identifies several local landmarks including Union Cem and Evergreen Cem, alongside Shady Grove Cem. The agricultural character of the region is evident in the dense network of local roads such as Rudy McGehee Rd and Ruby McGehee Rd, which connect the rural homesteads between Wards Bayou and the remnants of the Old Boeuf River.
