1986 Map of Whitney Island South

About this map

Boeuf River and Bayou Bonne Idee define the hydraulic character of this Richland and Morehouse Parish borderland during the mid-1980s. The landscape is a complex network of meanders, cut-offs, and brakes, reflecting a history of river migration and flood management. Notable features like Whitney Island, Hegwood Island, and Old River Island are isolated by former river channels, while engineered modifications such as Big Cut-off No 1, Cut-off No 2, and a series of levees point to efforts to control the local waterways.
