2018 Map of Harrell Lake

About this map

Alabama Lndg sits at the northern edge of this Union and Morehouse Parish landscape, marking a historical river landing where the land transitions into the dense bottomlands of the Ouachita River basin. The area is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the winding Bayou Bartholomew and Bayou de Butte, which feed into numerous cypress brakes and backwater lakes. Large water bodies like Harrell Lake, Finch Lake, and Haggerty Camp Lake dominate the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic complexity of this Louisiana river valley. A web of specialized trails and local roads, such as Long Lonesome Rd, Boggy Bayou Trl, and Paw Paw Lake Trl, provides access through the wetlands. The presence of features like McGowen Brake and Deep Slough Pond highlights the importance of the swamp ecology and the seasonal drainage patterns that have shaped local transport and settlement since the earliest riverfront developments.
