About this map

Hydrological patterns and agricultural land define this section of Concordia Parish and Catahoula Parish, where the Tensas River and numerous bayous weave through the bottomlands. The landscape is dotted with several rural churches and cemeteries, such as St James Ch and the New Daughter Ch Cem, serving small settlements like Athlone and Stacy. The era's industrial footprint is visible through the Float Oil Field and wooden pole transmission lines crossing the terrain.

Water management and conservation are central to the area's character, evidenced by the Concordia State Wildlife Management Area and various brakes like Cypress Brake and Ross Brake. These features, along with Cocodrie Lake and Brushy Bayou, reflect a territory shaped by seasonal flooding and a reliance on the natural drainage of the Mississippi River basin before the further development of the late 20th century.
