About this map

The waters of Catahoula Lake dominate the northern landscape of this region where La Salle and Rapides Parishes meet. This early 1970s survey captures a rural environment defined by slow-moving waterways and industrial extraction. The Little River meanders across the top of the sheet, feeding into the lake near Routh Point, while the interior is crisscrossed by an extensive network of pipelines and oil wells.

Evidence of local history and community life is centered around the settlement of Holloway, including Holloway Ch and a nearby cemetery. To the east, the landscape transitions into the Saline State Wildlife Management Area, characterized by seasonal basins like West Saline Lake and Catfish Prairie. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade near Saline Bayou serves as a reminder of the area's older timber or transport infrastructure, now superseded by the modern oil fields and the military training grounds of Camp Beauregard.
