2020 Map of Deer Park

About this map

Deer Park occupies a precarious position along a deep loop of the Mississippi River where the Concordia Parish line meets the Mississippi state border. This riverine landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring abandoned channels and backwaters such as Old River and Briars Chute. To the north, Bayou Cocodrie and the Mississippi Bayou drain the alluvial lowlands, while Wallace Lake and Little Wallace Lake remain as significant water bodies in the flood-prone interior. The terrain is marked by dynamic river features like Glasscock Island and Saint Catherine Towhead, which illustrate the shifting nature of the river's path over time. A network of local roads including Deer Park Rd and Frog Pond Rd provides access to the scattered homes and agricultural fields that characterize this rural corner of Louisiana.
