2015 Map of Whitney Island North

About this map

Bayou Bonne Idee serpentines through the alluvial landscape of Morehouse Parish, defining the drainage patterns and historical settlement boundaries of this northeast Louisiana territory. The map reveals a complex system of sloughs and watercourses, including the Little Bayou Bonne Idee and Turkey Bayou, which give way to the larger Boeuf River along the eastern parish line. Small rural hubs such as Moss Bridge and Whitney Island are connected by a network of local parish roads and family-named lanes, including Pud Clack Rd and Susie Turner Rd. The presence of the Wimberley Cem in the southwest corner provides a clear point of reference for genealogists tracing local families. The land use is characterized by large agricultural tracts and natural features like Horseshoe Lake and The Swale, illustrating the region's reliance on the fertile river bottomlands.
