2012 Map of Chamblee

About this map

Mississippi River meanders define this section of the Louisiana-Mississippi border, where the shifting waters have created a complex landscape of bars, chutes, and cutoffs. The western bank in Tensas Parish features established settlements and landings like Chamblee, Ashland, and Hedgeland, while the central area is dominated by large fluvial landforms including Buena Vista Island and Rodney Island. Extensive revetments, such as the Browns Field Revetment and Old Kempe Bend Revetment, indicate the ongoing engineering efforts to stabilize this volatile stretch of the river.
