About this map

The Tensas River meanders through this low-lying landscape, defining the boundary between Madison and Tensas Parishes. This wetland-rich environment is characterized by a complex network of waterways, including Steep Bank Bayou, Cypress Bayou, and the winding Wildhorse Bayou. Small settlements like Westwood and Dearborn are situated along the elevated grounds of Ridge Lake Bend, while Wildcat lies further south.

The presence of features such as Newells Ridge and Lake Nick illustrates the dynamic nature of this deltaic region, where landforms are shaped by historical shifts in water channels. A network of parish roads, including Parish Rd 103 and Becks Bayou Rd, connects these isolated communities and provides access to landing points like Flowers Lndg. This map offers a detailed view of the agricultural and hydraulic patterns of the Louisiana bottomlands.
