About this map

Mississippi River dynamics dominate this survey, where the shifting border between Louisiana and Mississippi follows the complex hydrology of Old River and Deer Park Bend. This region of Concordia Parish Adams Co is characterized by extensive alluvial features, including the large Glasscock Towhead and St Catherine Towhead. The settlement of Deer Park sits protected behind a prominent Levee, which runs parallel to the river's winding course.

Tracing the landscape reveals the historical importance of water management and river access, evidenced by the Boat Ramp and various Nav Light markers for navigation. Further inland, the map captures a network of bayous such as Bayou Cocodrie and Wallace Bayou. The local community is anchored by landmarks like Bougere Ch and a riverside Landing Strip, reflecting a rural economy tied to the river's edge and the surrounding lowlands of Esperance Point.
