About this map

The Ouachita River defines the western reach of this Caldwell Parish landscape, where the Columbia Lock and Dam controls the river's flow near the settlement of Riverton. This 1989 provisional map illustrates an intricate riparian network including the Boeuf River and Bayou Lafourche as they wind through the eastern lowlands. The central plain is marked by agricultural roads and small clusters at Cane Hill and Corey, while the eastern portion is dominated by the Boeuf State Wildlife Management Area. Numerous oxbow lakes and bayous, such as Davis Lake, McEnery Lake, and Horseshoe Lake, suggest a dynamic floodplain managed by a system of levees. Significant infrastructure like the Caldwell Parish Airport and multiple pumping stations highlight the mid-century engineering required to support rural life and commerce in the Louisiana delta.
