About this map

Bayou Bonne Idee snakes through the heart of this Morehouse Parish landscape, defining the agricultural and drainage patterns of the region. The map reveals a complex network of waterways, including the winding Boeuf River and the oxbow-shaped Horseshoe Lake, which highlight the alluvial character of the land. Small rural settlements like Moss Bridge and the uniquely named Cut-Off Number One are situated along these watercourses, illustrating the historical reliance on natural levees and ridges for building sites.

A dense network of parish roads, such as Parish Rd 5601 and Brigham Ranch Rd, provides access to the surrounding fields and timberlands. Genealogists may find interest in the lone Wimberley Cem located in the southwestern quadrant. The convergence of three parishes—Morehouse, West Carroll, and Richland—occurs along the eastern and southern edges, marked by the flow of the river and Cypress Cr.
