FLOODING AT FRENCHMAN'S BEND MONROE LOUISIANA? WHY ARE ANY OF YOU SURPRISED ? TAKE A LOOK AT ANY MAP OF THE AREA AND OPEN YOUR EYES... GEEZ.. DOESN'T TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. IT WAS A HORSE SHOE LAKE THAT IS GOING BACK TO NATURE AND WILL KEEP FLOODING ,ALSO IT WAS AN ABORIGINE OCCUPIED SITE FOR OVER 20000 YEARS BECAUSE IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PLACES TO COME OUT OF THE OCEAN WHEN LOUISIANA WAS COVERED WITH WATER FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS BECAUSE OF THE BASTROP ALLUVIAL SOIL THERE WHICH IS CLAY BASED AND IS A LITTLE HIGHER THAN OTHER SURROUNDING AREAS PART OF THE LAND THAT IS NOW BASTROP AND LEADING UP TO BASTROP . THE SAME SOIL IS DOMINANT IN THE SWARTZ AREA. Hi , At one time I lived near Frenchman's bend. I used to hunt artifacts there. I found artifacts that were about 18000 to 20000 years old. I was looking at photos of the flooding there you shared. doesn't anyone realize that Frenchman's has only been out of the water for about 20000 years? It was a horse shoe lake of the old Arkansas river that bayou desaird is . Bayou desaird and black bayou were all the arkansas river. Frenchmans is only going back to what it was . A horse shoe lake .. so no one should be suprized that nature is claiming what once belonged to it. as a lake. The land there is the same type of soil as in Bastrop.. its the Bastrop alluvial soil that appeared after the waters of that once covered louisiana were receding.. Here is a map and if you notice on the map it shows frenchmans as horse shoe lake. Anyway ..I was curious why anyone would not think that it would flood there also there are many Native American burial mounds there. That place was occupied for probably 10000 years and there were many people there living and being buried there.. maybe they don't want the people to live there lol.. just joking but it was a horse shoe lake one time just like the ones that are all over the Quachita river. Just a natural thing.. anyway here is the map, check it out..
Great 18 hole course to play on. And play right past earthen mounds built by Indians over 6000 years ago.
Simply beautiful!
