About this map

The Ouachita River and Tensas River converge near Jonesville, defining a landscape dominated by complex hydrology and energy extraction. This 2012 survey documents the intricate network of oxbows and bayous, including Tew Lake and Mean Lake, which are interspersed with numerous active petroleum operations such as the Tew Lake Oil Field and the Patton Church Oil Field. These sites illustrate the region's long-standing reliance on the alluvial basin's natural resources.

Settlement patterns are concentrated along higher ground and historical crossings, with small communities like Trinity and Wallace Ridge serving as local anchors. Genealogists can locate several burial sites throughout the parish, including McFarlen Cem and the Trinity Community Cem near Tensas Point. The road network, featuring names like Swayze Levee Rd, highlights the essential infrastructure required to manage the seasonally fluctuating waters of the Little River.
