About this map

Wisner anchors this survey of northeastern Louisiana, where the border between Franklin Parish and Catahoula Parish cuts through a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways and agricultural drainage. The town of Wisner is laid out with a clear street grid including Magnolia St and Natchez St, serving as a central hub for outlying settlements like Metropolis and Elam. To the west, Turkey Creek Lake sits among the wetlands, while the center of the map is dominated by the meandering paths of Brushey Bayou and Black Bayou.

Tracing the rural landscape south of Peck, the terrain becomes increasingly defined by its bayous, including Loften Bayou and Bayou Falcon. These waterways reflect the historic drainage patterns of the Mississippi Delta region. Local genealogy is supported by the location of family-named landmarks and resting places such as Humble Cem and Hope-Will Cem, which are scattered among the fields and timber tracts that characterize this part of the parish.
