About this map

Wham Brake and the surrounding marshlands dominate the eastern half of this landscape northeast of Monroe. The area is defined by its complex drainage network, including Alligator Lake, Patrick Bayou, and Bayou Galion, which weave through the low-lying terrain of the Ouachita, Morehouse, and Richland Parish borders. The higher ground of Hopkins Ridge provides a distinct contrast to the nearby Swan Lakebed.

Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds such as Puckettville Cem, Loch Arbor Cem, and Spring Hill Cem, serving the communities of Swartz and Hancock. Aviation history is represented by Huenefeld Airport in the south, while the rural road network, including Swartz Fairbanks Rd and Stubbs Ritchie Rd, indicates the established residential and agricultural patterns of this region in the modern era.
