atchafalaya basin map

From 1950 to 2005 the amount of open water decreased to 73 square miles (190km2). Use the map below to plan your adventure. It includes the Lower Atchafalaya River, Wax Lake Outlet, Atchafalaya Bay, and the Atchafalaya River and bayous Chne, Boeuf, and Black navigation channel. Numerous large access canals and pipeline canals were dredged through deep swamp areas, across bayous, and across the Atchafalaya River. The river stretches from near Simmesport in the north through parts of eight parishes to the Morgan City southern area. In 1963, USACE constructed a seven-mile channel system of dams and spillways to relieve some of the Mississippi but not all. Processes occurring deep within Earth constantly are shaping landforms.
