Title : Red River Valley, Louisiana, U.S.A. May 1993
Caption :
This northwest-looking photograph of central Louisiana accentuates the complicated merging of the Red River, Mississippi River, and Atchafalaya River between Alexandria and Baton Rouge. Alexandria is discernible along an east meander of the Red River, which has a broad, northwest-southeast-aligned floodplain. Visible are several large meanders of the Mississippi River (lower right corner) and the Atchafalaya River to the west, the main channel of which can be traced northward to the southern edge of the Dismal Swamp. Numerous interconnecting channels and streams crisscross the flat, swampy landscape. Cultivated field patterns are visible on the elevated terrain (lower left corner).
