About this map

Tensas River National Wildlife Refuge dominates the landscape of this Madison and Tensas Parish borderlands, where the sinuous Tensas River meanders through bottomland forests and oxbow remnants. The terrain is a complex network of hydrologic features, including Wildhorse Bayou, Cypress Bayou, and Du Rosset Bayou, reflecting the ancient alluvial patterns of the Mississippi Delta. Small settlements such as Westwood and Dearborn are situated along these waterways and rural roads like Parish Rd 103.

Landmarks like Flowers Lndg and Ridge Lake Bend indicate a history tied closely to the river's path, while higher ground is noted at Newells Ridge to the southeast. The survey details the transition from protected wildlife habitats to the structured agricultural grids that define much of the surrounding parish territory, providing a precise look at the drainage and land divisions in this river-dependent region.
