1994 Map of Holloway

About this map

The low-lying wetlands where the Little River meets the northern expanse of Catahoula Lake dominate this mid-1990s survey of the Rapides and La Salle Parish border. This landscape is a complex intersection of natural drainage and heavy industry, where the South Catahoula Oil Field and West Saline Lake Oil Field operate amidst protected marshlands. Extensive bayous like Big Bayou and Alligator Bayou weave through the Saline State Wildlife Management Area, illustrating the region's dual identity as both a resource extraction hub and a conservation zone. Near the small settlement of Holloway, the presence of a Gaging Station and a Pumping Station highlights the managed nature of these waterways. Local history is anchored by family-named landscape features such as Routh Point and Evans Br, alongside the quiet presence of a Cem and Schoolhouse Br, reflecting a dispersed rural community established along the higher ground of the lake's periphery.
