About this map

The Tensas River meanders through this portion of Louisiana, defining the border between Tensas and Catahoula Parishes. This landscape is a complex network of bayous and oxbow lakes, including Hoover Lake, Black Lake, and Mile Lake, which indicate the shifting hydrology of the Mississippi River floodplain. The small settlement of Foules sits near the Missouri Pacific railroad line, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural community. Genealogy researchers will find several well-identified landmarks, such as Elder Shade Cem, Loam Land Cem, and New Zion Ch. A prominent Levee and a Double Wooden Pole Trans Line track through the basin, while the Little Tensas River joins the main branch in the south, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped local development near Maitland.
