2020 Map of Montrose

About this map

Montrose serves as the primary hub in this corner of Ashley County, where local streets like W Walnut St and E Main St meet the regional transport corridors. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways that dictate the placement of rural settlements and agricultural land. Significant drainage systems including Big Bayou, Crooked Bayou, and the Old Boeuf River meander through the territory, creating a complex patchwork of wetlands and low-lying ground. Small communities and family landmarks are scattered throughout, including Boydell to the north and Cosgrove to the east. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies several significant burial sites such as Evergreen Cem, Union Cem, and Shady Grove Cem, which remain as fixed points of history in this changing Delta environment.
