2012 Map of Oakley

About this map

Bayou Macon and the Tensas River dominate this Louisiana landscape, winding through the alluvial plains of Franklin Parish. The map reveals a complex network of waterways, including Wolf Bayou, Black Bayou, and the Tensas Lake system, illustrating the hydrology of the Mississippi Delta region. Historically significant river access points are clearly marked, such as Craig Landing, Cut Off Landing, and Big A Plenty Landing, which once served as vital links for local commerce and transport. The small settlement of Oakley sits in the northwest, while the presence of the Kendrick Ferry Bridge and the former site of Kendrick Ferry highlight the evolution of river crossings. Local geography is further detailed with named terrain like Bucks Bottom and Hog Glade, alongside numerous family-named roads like George Carroll Rd and Wade Bufkin Rd.
