Geography
Baliracq-Maumusson is located some 45 km east by north-east of Orthez and 20 km south of Aire-sur-l'Adour. Access to the commune is by the D211 road from Lannecaube in the south which passes through the length of the commune along the eastern side to join the D41 just north of the commune.

The Lées river forms the eastern border of the commune as it flows north to join the Adour near Aire-sur-l'Adour. The Gabassot forms the northern border of the commune as it flows east into the Lées. Two other streams rise in the commune and flow into the Lées.[2]

Toponymy
According to Michel Grosclaude the name Baliracq probably came from a Latin man's name Valerus with the Gallo-Roman suffix -acum giving the "Domain of Valerus". For Maumusson he proposed a Gascon man's name: the nickname mau meaning "bad" combined with mus meaning "nose" and the suffix -on giving "unfriendly" or "sullen".[10]

Inter-communality
The commune is part of six inter-communal structures:
- the Community of communes of the Canton of Garlin;
- the SIVU for roads in the Garlin region;
- the SIVU for the Lées and its tributaries;
- the Energy association of Pyrénées-Atlantiques;
- the inter-communal association for the supply of drinking water for Luy-Gabas-Lées;
- the inter-communal association of Five Rivers;
Demography
In 2010 the commune had 145 inhabitants. The evolution of the number of inhabitants is known from the population censuses conducted in the commune since 1793. From the 21st century, a census of communes with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants is held every five years, unlike larger communes that have a sample survey every year.[Note 1]

Culture and heritage
Civil heritage
The commune has a number of buildings and structures that are registered as historical monuments:
- A Mill at Baliracq (1764)
[17] - A Farmhouse at Baliracq-Bouquehort (19th century)[4]
- The Coussié House at Maumusson-Tardan (1742)[9]
- The Castéra House at Baliracq-Castéra (1742)[5]
- The Lafon House at Maumusson-Crédey (17th century)[6]
- The Sansot House at Maumusson-Sansot (19th century)[8]
- The Chateau de Milly at Maumusson-Florence (18th century)[7]
- Houses and Farms (18th-19th century)[18]
- A Fortified Area (Middle Ages)[19]
- A Fortified Complex (Prehistoric).[20] At a place called Castera the topography has been visibly altered by the hand of man as evidenced by the presence of an ancient fortified complex with major embankments and a circular walkway which is still visible. This could be for high wooden stakes joined together because no stone remains have been found. The works could therefore date to the high Middle Ages although there could be prehistoric remains.

is registered as an historical monument.[21] The Church contains many items that are registered as historical objects:

Notes and references
Notes
- ^ At the beginning of the 21st century, the methods of identification have been modified by Law No. 2002-276 of 27 February 2002 Archived 6 March 2016 at the Wayback Machine, the so-called "law of local democracy" and in particular Title V "census operations" allows, after a transitional period running from 2004 to 2008, the annual publication of the legal population of the different French administrative districts. For communes with a population greater than 10,000 inhabitants, a sample survey is conducted annually, the entire territory of these communes is taken into account at the end of the period of five years. The first "legal population" after 1999 under this new law came into force on 1 January 2009 and was based on the census of 2006.
