The low-lying wetlands of Catahoula Lake dominate this portion of Central Louisiana, where the borders of Rapides, Grant, and La Salle Parishes converge. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways including Little River, Saline Bayou, and Alligator Bayou, which flow through seasonal floodplains like Catfish Prairie and Middle Prairie. Industrial activity is evident in the South Catahoula Oil Field and another unnamed Oil Field near West Saline Lake, connected by various pipelines that cut across the swampy terrain. The small settlement of Holloway sits on higher ground to the southwest, serving as a rare point of habitation near the vast Dewey W Willis State Wildlife Management Area and the Camp Beauregard military training grounds.
