About this map

The Ouachita River meanders through this landscape, defining the character of western Caldwell Parish. The settlement of Riverton sits at a sharp bend in the river, south of Barr Point, while the community of Corey is situated to the north near Ferrand Lake. This map reveals a complex system of waterways, including Bayou Lafourche, Indian Slough, and the Boeuf River, which delineate the low-lying terrain east of the primary river channel.

Transportation and aviation are central to this area, anchored by the Caldwell Parish Airport in the south. Local history is anchored by sites such as Bethany Cem and Duchene Cem near the eastern border. The grid of local roads, such as Columbia Nursery Rd and Riverton Camp Rd, provides access to various lakes like Volman Lake and Brushy Lake, reflecting a region deeply tied to its alluvial geography and small riverside settlements.
