2020 Map of Newlight

About this map

Newlight sits at the center of this 2020 landscape, where the meandering Tensas River carves a complex path through the lowlands of Tensas Parish. The map reveals a highly hydraulic environment defined by intricate bayou systems, including Mound Bayou, Big Bayou, and Sandy Bayou. To the south, the terrain holds notable water bodies such as Lake Misery and Lake Formosa. The infrastructure here is heavily tied to land management and agriculture, evidenced by numerous named roads and landmarks like Steel Gang, Rural Route 2, and a series of paths designated as Turn Row. This detailed survey provides a clear view of the drainage patterns and property divisions that characterize this portion of the Louisiana Delta, marking the boundary where Franklin Parish and Tensas Parish meet.
