About this map

Poverty Point National Monument dominates the southern landscape of this West Carroll Parish survey, where the ancient earthworks are traced by a Self-Guided Trail. The settlement of Pioneer sits at a junction in the north, defined by a grid of streets including Main St and Broadway St. The terrain is deeply intertwined with the slow-moving waters of Bayou Macon, which serves as the boundary between West Carroll and East Carroll Parish.

Smaller hamlets like Floyd and Darnell are connected by a network of rural routes such as State Rte 588 and Leggitt Crossing Rd. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of Wilson Cem and Bethany Cem. The map illustrates a complex drainage system of bayous and creeks, including Alligator Bayou, Indian Bayou, and Hurricane Cr, which carve through the agricultural fields and wetlands.
