2012 Map of Lake Bruin

About this map

The complex hydrology of Tensas Parish is on display in this modern survey, defined by the winding paths of Big Choctaw Bayou, Routh Bayou, and Andrews Bayou. The landscape is a network of agricultural land and energy extraction, featuring numerous industrial sites such as the Crimea Gas Field, Buckhorn Oil Field, and the Aubrey Oil and Gas Field. Small communities and named locales like Crimea, Aubrey, and Denhart are scattered throughout the quadrangle, connected by a grid of parish roads including Old Stagg Rd. Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds like Oneonta Cem, Gold Bell Cem, and Mound Cem. To the east, the shoreline of Lake Bruin and the Cottage Bend Revetment mark the transition toward the Mississippi River floodplain, while the Tensas Parish Airport serves as a regional transportation hub.
