About this map

The Black River winds prominently through this landscape, defining the jagged border between Catahoula Parish and Concordia Parish. This low-lying alluvial region is defined by a dense network of secondary waterways, including Cynthia Bayou, Powder Horn Bayou, and Gillespie Bayou, which snake through the floodplain alongside numerous oxbow lakes and sloughs. Small settlements such as Serena, Mayna, and Eva are connected by a system of levees and local routes like La-124.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites scattered across the river bends, including Palo Alto Cem, Lone Pine Cem, and Pecantly Cem. The presence of Blount Airport and specialized roads like Diversion Canal Levee RD reflects the modern management of this water-dominated environment. Notable water bodies such as Langley Lake, Wilson Lake, and Eagle Nest Lake further illustrate the complex hydrology of the deltaic plain as it appeared in the mid-2010s.
