2020 Map of Caraway Lake

About this map

Joes Bayou and its numerous tributaries dominate this drainage network in East Carroll Parish, where the land is defined by the winding paths of the Tensas Bayou and Bayou Macon. The complex hydrology of this region is evident in the many smaller waterways like Jump Log Bayou, Long Lake Bayou, and Maiden Doe Bayou, which carve through the low-lying terrain. These waterways were central to the agricultural and transportation development of the parish, dictating the placement of early roads and homesteads.
