About this map

The Tensas River meanders through the heart of the Mississippi Delta in this 2018 survey, defining the boundary between Catahoula and Concordia Parishes before flowing toward Clayton. The landscape is a complex network of bayous and wetlands, including Panola Brake, Kimball Bayou, and Shavins Bayou, which underscore the region's hydraulic character. To the south, the settlement of Ferriday serves as a primary hub, showing a grid of streets such as Louisiana Ave and the commemorative Mickey Gilley Dr.

Evidence of the local education and transit infrastructure is clear at the Louisiana Technical College Shelby M Jackson Campus and Summeryell Airport near Red Gum. Along the eastern edge, the oxbow of Lake Concordia sits adjacent to Vidal Island and the Mississippi state line, illustrating how the river's historical shifts have shaped modern political and property boundaries. Genealogists may find interest in the Calhoun Cem located north of Clayton, while the various lakes like Jenkins Lake and Turtle Lake speak to the area's recreational and environmental geography.
