Bayou Macon is onthe west of the Mississippi flood plain, Ouachita Riveron the e.\treme west of the central plain, Bayous and Teche, on the west of the flood plain ofthe Red River. In North Louisiana the rivers followthe trend of the subterranean rocks. In the east theyflow southeasterly in the Ouachita, and southward intothe Red.
