About this map

The confluence of the Ouachita River, Tensas River, and Little River defines this landscape in Catahoula Parish, where they merge to form the Black River. This complex waterway system, characterized by dramatic meanders like Meyers Bend, has long influenced the placement of local settlements and transport routes. Jonesville sits at this strategic river junction, with the nearby communities of Trinity and Quaid positioned along the banks.

Evidence of established family and community history is visible at the McFarlen Cemetery and Trinity Community Cemetery. The surrounding lowlands are crisscrossed by a network of bayous and sloughs, including Bushley Bayou, Cutoff Bayou, and Gin Slough, which drain into larger bodies like Wallace Lake and Brickyard Lake. The map details the transition from these water-bound regions to higher ground at Wallace Ridge, connected by rural routes such as La-923 and Taylor Road.
