Miscellaneous Information for Frenchmans Bayou ...

The Federal government has assigned various identifying codes to each community, county and state. At one time or another, the US Census Bureau has used one (or more) of the following identifiers when referring to either Mississippi County or the community of Frenchmans Bayou:

  • The GNIS Codes ...
    • The current system of identification is called the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). The following GNIS codes relate to Frenchmans Bayou:
    • GNIS ID for Frenchmans Bayou: 76978
    • GNIS ID for Mississippi County: 69899
    • GNIS ID for State of Arkansas: 68085
  • Misc. Census Codes ...
    • Frenchmans Bayou is located in Census Region #3 (the South Region) and Division #7 (the West South-Central Division).
  • The US Postal Service ZIP Code ...
    • While some people have used a ZIP code to identify a community, the purpose of the ZIP code was to make mail delivery more efficient by grouping addresses together. Although the ZIP Code doesn't specifically identify a community like Frenchmans Bayou, it does identify addresses that are in (or near) Frenchmans Bayou. It's important to remember that the boundaries of a ZIP Code can be changed, re-assigned or overlapped with other ZIP Codes.
    • The ZIP code for Frenchmans Bayou:72338<6>
  • Census ZCTA Codes ...
    • The US Census Bureau created statistical entities that they call ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) and these ZCTAs are frequently confused with the ZIP codes that come from the US Postal Service (USPS).
    • ZCTAs were first created for the 2000 Census and at that time, they were based upon the USPS ZIP codes. While largely covering the same areas, the boundaries of a ZCTA do not necessarily match the boundaries of a postal ZIP code with the same number. For example, while a postal ZIP code can cross a county or state line, a Census ZCTA can not. They should be treated as separate entities with no correlation between them.

Footnotes ...

<1>It's a common practice for mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names. So Frenchmans Bayou may originally have been Frenchman's Bayou. Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Frenchmans Bayou might be written as Frenchman Bayou. For more information, please visit our Genealogy Helper Page for Frenchmans Bayou.
<2>The location has been supplied by the Geographic Names Information System - which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). While these values should be definitive, we found that accuracy can vary and you should double-check the location if accuracy is required.
<3>While we're fans and frequent users of TripAdvisor, you should know that we're also members of the TripAdvisor affiliate program.
<4>An 'estimated' location is one where we have been given GPS coordinates, but are unable to verify the accuracy of those coordinates. That said, we have some confidence that we have placed the marker near the actual location. A typical reason for being unable to verify a location is that it might be on private property or maybe historic and gone without an obvious trace.

<6>When looking for a ZIP Code, whether Frenchmans Bayou or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the United States Postal Service (USPS).
