2018 Map of Mound

About this map

Thomastown and Mound anchor this low-lying landscape in Madison Parish, where the complex hydrology of the Mississippi Delta is on full display. The area is defined by a network of bayous and remnant oxbow lakes, including Sip Lake, Sandbank Lake, and the expansive Big Lake, which reveal the historical movement of water through the alluvial plain. High ground is found at Rattlesnake Ridge, a subtle elevation change in an otherwise level environment dominated by agricultural drainages like Cypress Bayou and Gar Bayou.
