About this map

The Red River and its intricate drainage network dominate this survey of the low-lying wetlands at the border of Avoyelles and Catahoula Parishes. The landscape is defined by the complex movement of water, from the Saline Cutoff and Old Red River in the north to the sprawling reaches of Lac Sainte Agnes and Lac Grand Bayou. This area showcases the traditional hydrography of central Louisiana, where numerous water bodies like Lac Ophelia, Lac Moreau, and Lac Sauliere are connected by a web of bayous including Twisty Bayou and Bayou Cocodrie.

A network of local roads, such as Lula Wiley Rd, Laprairie Rd, and Boones Rd, provides access through the marshy terrain, while features like Terre Chene Blanc and Pointe Tournant indicate higher ground or significant bends in the waterway. The map captures the specialized agricultural and natural resource geography of the region, evidenced by landmarks like the Lock Dam Rd and the Knight Oil Tool Ln.
