About this map

The Ouachita River corridor serves as the primary geographical anchor for this portion of Ouachita Parish, where the urban expansion of West Monroe and Claiborne meets a complex network of wetlands and bayous. In this modern landscape, the residential developments around Kiroli Woods and Forest Park are juxtaposed against the natural hydrology of Black Bayou and Tupawek Bayou.

The northern reaches of the map transition into a dense system of waterways, including Bayou D'Arbonne and Cross Bayou, where Wall Lake and McGuire Lake Number One dominate the low-lying terrain. Local history and genealogy interests are centered on established sites like the Hasley Cem and the unincorporated communities of Drew and Cheniere, providing a detailed view of the region's suburban growth and its continued relationship with the surrounding river delta ecology.
