About this map

The Tensas River meanders in tight oxbows through this landscape in Madison Parish, reflecting the complex hydrological history of the Mississippi River floodplain. Much of the terrain is defined by the Tensas National Wildlife Refuge, where bottomland hardwood forest environments are marked by numerous named brakes and bayous. Significant water bodies such as Horseshoe Lake, Big Rainey Lake, and Wolf Lake indicate the path of former river channels, while features like Rainey Brake and Bear Wallow suggest the seasonally flooded nature of the ground. Human activity in this conservation area is represented by a small network of unimproved roads and a Foot Bridge crossing the river, emphasizing the transition from former agricultural or timber land to protected habitat. Other waterways, including Alligator Bayou and Mack Bayou, crisscross the area, serving as a reminder of the intricate drainage patterns essential to this part of Louisiana.
