The Tensas River meanders through this portion of the Mississippi Delta, defining the low-lying terrain along the border of Catahoula and Concordia Parishes. In this environment, water shapes the landscape and its history, evident in the numerous oxbows and backwaters like River Lake, Dead Lake, and Sunflower Lake. These features, along with names like Buttonwood Brake, suggest a landscape defined by seasonal flooding and cypress swamps. The settlement of Dunbarton is protected by the Dunbarton Levee Rd, highlighting the ongoing relationship between human habitation and the river's influence.
