About this map

The Atchafalaya River corridor dominates this landscape at the border of St. Landry Parish and Pointe Coupee Parish, where the town of Krotz Springs serves as a critical junction for rail and highway traffic. The map illustrates the sophisticated water management infrastructure of the West Atchafalaya Floodway and the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway, revealing a complex network of wetlands and drainage features like the Bayou Courtableau Outlet Channel and Two O'clock Bayou.

Local history is preserved in the settlement at Courtableau and several religious landmarks within Krotz Springs, including the First Baptist Cem and Saint Anthony 2nd St Catholic Cem. The surrounding swampy terrain is etched with numerous named waterways such as Threemile Bayou and Latania Bayou, showing the persistence of the natural bayou system alongside modern engineered flood controls and the Majors Airpark landing strip.
