The crescent-shaped Lake Saint Joseph dominates the landscape west of the Mississippi River, marking an ancient oxbow that now frames the town of Newellton. This 2024 survey captures the intricate relationship between the alluvial topography and Tensas Parish settlement patterns. Small hamlets like Balmoral and Notnac sit among a dense network of local routes, including Middle Rd and Parish Rd 329, while larger water bodies like Yucatan Lake and Brushy Lake illustrate the dynamic shifts of the river system over time.
