Waterproof serves as the focal point of this Mississippi River delta landscape, situated near the boundary of Tensas Parish and Concordia Parish. The area is defined by its complex hydrography, where the river's historical movements have left behind a network of old channels and cutoffs, including the Waterproof Cutoff and Gorton Chute. Settlements like Barcelona, Goldman, and Troy are scattered across the alluvial plain, often following the winding paths of natural waterways such as Big Choctaw Bayou and Buffalo Bayou.
