Caddo Lake and its intricate network of inlets and points dominate this portion of Caddo Parish, where the local landscape is defined by the legacy of the northwestern Louisiana oil industry. The settlement of Oil City is visible at the northern edge, while Mooringsport occupies a strategic peninsula further south. The map illustrates a transition from the wooded peninsulas of Rocky Point and Stormy Point to the expansive drainage area of the Soda Lake Bed. This geographic shift is marked by numerous bayous, including Black Bayou, Twelvemile Bayou, and Walnut Bayou. Cultural and genealogical landmarks are interspersed throughout the area, such as St Johns Church Rd and Evans Cemetery Rd, while the southern reaches show the growth of Blanchard and smaller locales like Brian and Arlatex.
