  Dooley's 
  bayou.^ 
  — 
  Just 
  below 
  the 
  old 
  Elmer's 
  bayou 
  outlet 
  and 
  

   about 
  opposite 
  Coushatta 
  bluffs 
  is 
  the 
  head 
  of 
  Dooley's 
  bayou. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  a 
  young 
  channel 
  much 
  divided 
  by 
  islands 
  and 
  in 
  several 
  

   places 
  crossed 
  by 
  beds 
  of 
  hard 
  resisting 
  clay 
  which, 
  just 
  above 
  

   the 
  channel 
  of 
  Old 
  Red 
  bayou 
  and 
  a 
  little 
  below 
  the 
  ancient 
  

   Dooley's 
  lake, 
  has 
  formed 
  a 
  little 
  water-fall. 
  The 
  bayou 
  appro- 
  

   priates 
  about 
  a 
  mile 
  of 
  the 
  Old 
  Red 
  bayou 
  channel, 
  reverses 
  the 
  

   ancient 
  flow 
  of 
  a 
  portion 
  of 
  it 
  and, 
  leaving 
  it, 
  continues 
  its 
  

   course 
  southwest 
  into 
  Cheftel's 
  lake. 
  

  

  Cow-hide 
  and 
  Horseshoe 
  bayous. 
  — 
  ^The 
  old 
  outlet 
  to 
  these 
  bayous 
  

   is 
  just 
  above 
  Carolina 
  bluffs. 
  A 
  short 
  distance 
  from 
  the 
  river 
  

   the 
  two 
  channels 
  separates. 
  Horseshoe 
  describes 
  a 
  course 
  to 
  the 
  

   northward 
  almost 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  Wild 
  Lucia 
  and 
  finally 
  reaches 
  Old 
  

   Red 
  bayou 
  at 
  a 
  point 
  almost 
  due 
  west 
  of 
  its 
  source. 
  It 
  follows 
  

   the 
  channel 
  of 
  Old 
  Red 
  bayou 
  for 
  half 
  a 
  mile 
  and 
  then 
  turns 
  

   southwest 
  and 
  empties 
  into 
  Dooley's 
  bayou 
  and 
  Old 
  Red 
  bayou 
  

   near 
  Cheftel's 
  lake. 
  Cowhide 
  bayou 
  enters 
  Old 
  Red 
  bayou 
  

   about 
  a 
  mile 
  below 
  Horseshoe. 
  

  

  Peach 
  Orchard 
  bayou. 
  — 
  Another 
  common 
  name 
  for 
  this 
  bayou 
  

   is 
  Shift-tail 
  bayou, 
  which 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  corruption 
  of 
  Cheftel's 
  

   bayou. 
  On 
  the 
  early 
  land 
  office 
  maps 
  it 
  is 
  called 
  Coshatta 
  

   Chute. 
  It 
  is 
  the 
  next 
  old 
  outlet 
  below 
  Cow-hide 
  bayou 
  and 
  

   after 
  a 
  short 
  course 
  southwest 
  it 
  joins 
  Old 
  Red 
  bayou. 
  

  

  Sterling 
  and 
  Irishman'' 
  s 
  bayous. 
  — 
  Following 
  the 
  course 
  of 
  the 
  

   river 
  the 
  next 
  bayou 
  to 
  start 
  westward 
  is 
  Sterling 
  bayou. 
  After 
  

   a 
  course 
  of 
  about 
  two 
  miles 
  it 
  changes 
  its 
  name 
  to 
  Irishman's 
  

   bayou. 
  It 
  follows 
  a 
  course 
  about 
  parallel 
  to 
  Old 
  Red 
  bayou 
  and 
  

   empties 
  near 
  the 
  foot 
  of 
  Cheftel's 
  lake. 
  

  

  Cottonwood 
  bayou. 
  — 
  The 
  first 
  considerable 
  old 
  outlet 
  channel 
  

   on 
  the 
  west 
  bank 
  above 
  Shreveport 
  is 
  Cottonwood 
  bayou. 
  It 
  

   left 
  the 
  river 
  just 
  above 
  Hurricane 
  bluffs 
  and 
  empties 
  into 
  Sodo 
  

   lake 
  above 
  Albany. 
  

  

  Trinity 
  bayou. 
  — 
  Connecting 
  Cottonwood 
  and 
  Irishman's 
  bayous 
  

   and 
  in 
  the 
  general 
  line 
  of 
  Old 
  Red 
  bayou, 
  this 
  has 
  also 
  been 
  

   called 
  Red 
  bayou. 
  

  

  Twelve 
  Mile 
  bayou. 
  — 
  In 
  ordinary 
  stages 
  of 
  water 
  this 
  is 
  the 
  

   most 
  considerable 
  tributary 
  stream 
  which 
  Red 
  river 
  receives 
  in 
  

  

  * 
  Spelt 
  Dooky's 
  and 
  Dooly's 
  on
