1972 Map of Powell Point
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Saline State Wildlife Management Area dominates this landscape where the boundaries of Rapides, La Salle, Catahoula, and Avoyelles parishes converge. In the early 1970s, the region was defined by a complex network of wetlands and seasonal watercourses, including West Saline Lake, Saline Lake, and the winding Saline Bayou. The presence of numerous Oil Wells and an established Oil Field indicates the industrial importance of the basin alongside its natural conservation. To the west, Big Island hosts the Deville Cem, offering a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing local families. The map also documents the intricate drainage patterns of the area, from the Old Saline River to the smaller Castoff Bayou and Raccoon Bayou, showing the territory before later environmental changes altered the flow of these Louisiana bottomlands.
