About this map

Bayou Bonne Idee meanders through the heart of this alluvial landscape, carving a complex series of oxbows and bends that dominate the local topography in the mid-1980s. This survey, published by the Louisiana Department of Public Works, captures the rural character of the region at the juncture of several parish boundaries. The water-defined geography is punctuated by specific landmarks like Horseshoe Lake and the larger flow of the Boeuf River, which serves as a natural border. Inland, smaller features such as Deer Lake and Turkey Bayou weave through the terrain, while a lone Cem stands as a point of interest for genealogical research. The map illustrates a landscape of agricultural drainage and natural waterways, including the straightened flow of Big Cut-off No 1 and the winding Bayou Boeuf.
