About this map

Tensas River meanders through this portion of northeast Louisiana, defining a landscape of complex waterways and alluvial settlements. The meandering path of the river is punctuated by Ridge Lake Bend and numerous bayous, including Mill Bayou, Wildhorse Bayou, and Cypress Bayou, which crisscross the low-lying terrain. The boundary between Madison Parish and Tensas Parish cuts across the northern half of the area, where water bodies like Lake Nick and Mack Bayou dominate the drainage patterns.

Local settlements such as Westwood, Dearborn, and Wildcat are connected by a network of rural routes, including Flowers Landing Rd and La-1079. In the southern reaches, Newells Ridge sits near the junction of several local roads like Godfrey Loop and Turn Row. This environment illustrates the reliance on natural levees and ridges for habitation within the sprawling wetland systems of the Mississippi Delta region.
