1965 Map of Lower Sunk Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The Mississippi River and Red River dominate this Louisiana-Mississippi borderland, where shifting waters have carved out a labyrinth of oxbows and backwaters. The landscape is defined by the massive Dismal Swamp and the eponymous Lower Sunk Lake, with high levee systems shielding small riverfront settlements. Human presence in the mid-1960s is concentrated in small pockets like Union Point, Black Hawk, and Shaw, while the local economy is evidenced by the Union Point Oil Field and the Red River Bay Oil Field.
