About this map

Cocodrie Lake and its surrounding wetlands define this landscape in Concordia Parish, where the complex hydrology of the Mississippi floodplain is visible through numerous waterways like Bayou Cocodrie and Madkin Bayou. The 2012 geography is characterized by a balance of agricultural holdings and energy extraction, with several active sites including the Stacy Oil Field and the Baggy Bayou Oil Field punctuating the rural terrain. Small settlements such as Frogmore, Stacy, and Athlone are scattered along the road network, while the Tensas River meanders across the northern portion of the quadrangle.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by family-named landmarks and several burial grounds, including Athlone Cem, Mount Moriah Cem, and Warren Cem. The map illustrates the specialized land use of the delta, from the Frogmore Plantation Rd to the distinctively shaped Horse Shoe Island, offering a detailed record of the parish's modern rural economy and its reliance on the river and bayou systems.
