Catahoula sits at the edge of the expansive Atchafalaya Basin Floodway, where the agricultural lands of St. Martin Parish meet the dense wetlands of the basin floor. The settlement pattern follows the high ground along the Catahoula Levee Rd and Catahoula Hwy, with local history anchored at Our Lady of the Lake Cem and the smaller Indian Mound Cem to the northeast. This landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, where named waterways like Bayou Bouillon, Bayou La Rose, and Crocodile Bayou thread through the swamps and brakes.
