About this map

Bastrop serves as the primary hub of this north Louisiana landscape, surrounded by a complex network of wetlands and hydraulic engineering. The town's expansion is documented through provisional updates, showing residential growth near Newblock and Sheltons. The northeastern quadrant is dominated by the massive Bussy Brake, a water body defined by distinct levees, while the winding course of Bartholomew Bayou meanders through the center, separating the developed areas from the wilder western reaches.

In the west, the Georgia Pacific State Wildlife Management Area covers a large territory of bottomlands, including Mayhaw Slough and Parker Slash. This area also reveals the regional energy economy with an active Gas Field and numerous pipeline markers. Other significant features include Morehouse Memorial Airport on the southern edge and isolated settlements like Pt Pleasant and Log Cabin, providing a detailed look at the parish seat's surroundings in the mid-1990s.
