About this map

Catahoula Lake dominates the northwest corner of this landscape at the intersection of LaSalle and Rapides Parishes. This area is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and water management infrastructure, most notably the Catahoula Lake Diversion Canal which cuts diagonally across the center of the sheet. The terrain is characterized by numerous bayous and sloughs, including Mound Bayou, Duck Slough, and the winding French Fork.

Access to this riparian environment is provided by a series of specialized routes like Dewey Wills W M A Rd and Diversion Canal Rd, alongside older pathways such as New Big Ridge Rd. The map illustrates a complex drainage system where natural features like Big Saline Bayou exist alongside significant human intervention, reflecting the ongoing efforts to manage the water levels of the surrounding basin near the Catahoula Parish line.
