USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
Marksville and the surrounding river bottomlands of Avoyelles Parish are documented here during a period of significant flood control activity managed by the Corps of Engineers. The Red River dominates the northern landscape, its shifting course marked by historical boundaries like the Meander Line 1844. The interaction between the elevated terrain of the Avoyelles Prairie and the complex drainage of Bayou des Glaises and Bayou du Lac highlights the area's agricultural and hydrologic history.
