About this map

The Mississippi River creates a dynamic border between Tensas Parish, Louisiana, and Jefferson County, Mississippi, carving out a landscape of bars, chutes, and oxbow remnants. The small community of Waterproof sits on the western edge of the quadrangle, near the Myrtle Grove Cem and the Myrtle Grove Airport. The river's historical shifts are evident in the complex network of landforms like Rodney Island and Buena Vista Island, alongside the massive Rodney Cutoff that has fundamentally altered the channel.

Further inland, the low-lying terrain is dotted with numerous water bodies, including Bell Cow Lake, Brushy Lake, and Kings Point Lake. These features, along with Choctaw Bayou and Gilliam Chute, define the drainage patterns of the delta. Small settlements such as Chamblee, Ashland, and Locust Ridge are connected by local routes like S Side - Ashland Rd, reflecting the rural agricultural character of this riverfront region.
