About this map

Saint Francis River and L'Anguille River dominate this portion of Lee County, where complex hydrology defines the local geography. The area is characterized by a network of seasonal water bodies and river features, including Little Yancopin Lake, Big Yancopin Lake, and point bars like True Love Bar and Cow Bayou Bar. This landscape reflects a long history of water management and natural shifts, evidenced by the Madison-Marianna Diversion and the presence of numerous bayous such as Cow Bayou and Mossy Lake Bayou.

Settlement patterns follow the higher ground of Crowley Ridge and Skidmore Ridge, with the community of Soudan serving as a central point along the state routes. Near the southern boundary, the St. Francis National Forest preserves the woodland character of the region. Genealogists may find interest in the Soudan Cem and the small settlements of Cody and Marianna, which anchor the transport network of local Lee Roads.
