About this map

The Tensas River meanders across this alluvial landscape, shaping a complex network of oxbow lakes and drainages within the Tensas River National Wildlife Refuge. The map details the transition from bottomland forest and wetlands to the rural settlements of Westwood and Dearborn. Evidence of long-term human presence is visible in the Indian Mounds located near the banks of DuRosset Bayou and Shackleford Lake, while a lonely Cem label denotes a local burial site. The hydrological character of the Madison and Tensas Parish boundary is defined by a maze of waterways, including Mack Bayou, Mill Bayou, and Spring Bayou. These labels document the intricate drainage patterns of the Louisiana Delta during the late 1980s, serving as a record for those studying the natural geography and small-scale habitation of this riverine environment.
