About this map

Catahoula National Wildlife Refuge dominates the northwestern corner of this landscape where the margins of Catahoula Lake meet a dense network of bayous and wetlands. The central terrain is defined by the Catahoula Lake Diversion Canal, a significant water management feature flanked by the Diversion Canal Rd and the Diversion Canal Levee Rd. This modern survey reveals a lowland environment where natural drainage patterns like French Fork and Muddy Bayou coexist with engineered waterways designed for flood control.

Trace the intersection of LaSalle, Catahoula, and Rapides parishes across a territory of sloughs and ridges. Named tracks such as New Big Ridge Rd and Camp Bayou Rd provide the primary access through these bottomlands. Local geography is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and water bodies including Mount Bayou, Indian Bayou, and Duck Slough, offering a detailed look at the complex hydrology of this central Louisiana region.
