Marksville and the surrounding Avoyelles Parish landscape are defined by an intricate network of waterways and French-named landmarks. The terrain is marked by the winding courses of Bayou des Glaises, Bayou Rouge, and the oxbow legacy of La Vieille Riviere. These bayous historically dictated the placement of settlements like Mansura and Cocoville, where roads such as Cocoville Rd and Baton Rouge Ave now follow the natural levees.
