I have enjoyed being contacted by several persons interested in the Solomon Northup Trail and I am so happy that I've had the opportunity to share it online. One of the persons that contacted me inquired about a map of the region and sent me "The Bayou Beouf Country" map shown below. Underneath that map is another map which I had forgotten about. I found the second map, "Bayou Beouf above and below Lecompte, LA," on Ancestry.com. If you would like a larger file size of the second map emailed to you, please contact me through this blog and I will be happy to provide it. Thank you for you interest in this piece of history!
