Catahoula Parish by land and water

The Census records 30.2 square miles of water within Catahoula Parish, or 4.1% of its total area. That share is close to Catahoula Parish’s 4.1%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Catahoula Parish has 101.3 times the land area of nearby Wallace Ridge CDP (7 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

The Census boundary meets Avoyelles Parish, Caldwell Parish, Concordia Parish, Franklin Parish, LaSalle Parish, Tensas Parish within Louisiana. A tract near one of these lines should be matched to the county identifier on its own records.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Catahoula Parish land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Locate the parcel within Catahoula Parish

Use a tax bill, deed, or assessor’s parcel number to pin down the land in Catahoula Parish. The county includes 4 listed community geographies; a nearby community name does not prove the parcel is inside its limits.

02

Read the Southern Backswamps setting

Southern Backswamps belongs to Mississippi Alluvial Plain. Which current elevation and drainage records distinguish the tract from nearby swales, levees or river terraces? The wider county also reaches South Central Plains; use the parcel’s location to choose the relevant setting.

03

Check the route, beyond Wallace Ridge

Wallace Ridge is 1.6 miles northeast of the Catahoula Parish reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

Does Southern Backswamps describe all of Catahoula Parish?+
