The northern boundary is north of La-181 (Exit 56), south of US 167 (Exit 61) with bayou boeuf-cocodrie diversion channel as the western boundary.

Flora and fauna
The WMA is classified as bottomland hardwood. The overstory includes bitter pecan, overcup oak, sugarberry, swamp maple, water elm, and honey locust.
