2012 Map of Gretna Green

About this map

Justina and Shady Grove anchor this 2012 landscape in Tensas Parish, where the geography is defined by a dense network of slow-moving waterways and active energy extraction. The area is intersected by Little Choctaw Bayou and Muddy Bayou, which meander through a region heavily utilized for its natural resources. Multiple active zones, including the North Holly Ridge Oil Field and Hard Bargin Gas Field, illustrate the industrial character of the parish at the start of the 21st century. Along the western edge, the Tensas River and Cooter Point mark significant terrain features, while local history is preserved at the Mayflower Cem near the settlement of Mayflower. The map also captures smaller communities like Gretna Green and Holly Ridge, connected by a web of parish roads that navigate the complex drainage patterns of the Louisiana bottomlands.
