2012 Map of Pine Ridge

About this map

Mercer Island and the sprawling Mississippi River corridor define the western edge of this landscape, where the alluvial bottomlands meet the rising bluffs of Adams County. The interior is a complex network of bayous and creeks, including Quitman Bayou and Fairchilds Cr, which weave through a terrain dominated by energy extraction. Numerous active petroleum sites, such as the Anna Oil Field, Oakland Oil Field, and Stanton Oil Field, are interspersed with historic rural settlements. The small communities of Anna and Pine Ridge serve as focal points for a web of local roads named for early residents and landmarks, including Emerald Mound Rd and Morning Glory Rd. Family history is preserved in scattered plots like Painters Cem and the Drake-Magruder Cem, illustrating the long-standing connection between the land's agricultural roots and its modern industrial role.
