Emphasis was placed on feasibility and social impact factors. Findings of the study may be summarized as follows: in need of resource development. 1 . Claiborne Parish represents an area The parish has been steadily losing population, especially in the younger adult ages, and this trend is projected to continue. 2. The people of Claiborne Parish are anxious to improve the eco- nomic opportunity structure within the parish and have initiated several projects with this objective in mind. The damming of the Middle Fork of Bayou D'Arbonne to form a reservoir is one of the projects proposed. 3. Interviews conducted with leaders of the parish, persons deter- mined to be knowledgeable and/or influential, indicate a very strong local support for the project. This support stems for the most part from a very positive experience with Lake Claiborne, which was developed in the parish about a decade ago. 4. Study of the relocation and property acquisition problems indi- cates that neither will be serious. The number of landholders is small, there appear to be no permanent dwellers in the area, and the land is exclusively in hardwood forests. 5. Estimates of the user population provide evidence that over 600,- 000 persons live within 50 miles of the proposed reservoir site and that 1.6 million people are no farther than 100 miles from the site. This is a population base large enough to assure a market for the reservoir as well as for the other lakes and reservoirs in the region. 6. The planning for a reservoir in a relatively depressed rural area is in keeping with the rural development and outdoor recreation develop- ment objectives of the state and nation. In fact, it would seem an ideal contributing project to the programs being implemented under such Federal statutes as the Land and Water Conservation Act of 1965 and by state agencies such as the Louisiana Bureau of Outdoor Recreation. 7. The conclusion reached in light of the findings of the study is- that the "Middle Fork" project is feasible and will have a positive so- cial impact. It is recommended that the proposal be submitted to appro- priate federal and state agencies for consideration for support. Middle Fork Bayou D^Arbonne Reservoir Project—Claiborne Parish, Louisiana: A Feasibility and Social Impact Study Alvin L. Bertrand, Project Leader* Background and Setting Introduction There have been unprecedented efforts to improve the "opportunity" structure in rural America within the past decade. Perhaps the most significant action at the national policy level was the enactment of the Rural Development Act in 1972. This act provided for programs designed to accelerate the development of rural areas and directed federal agencies to give the highest priority to the implementation of these programs.^ This report, prepared by members of the Department of Rural Sociology Research, Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station, in collaboration with the Superintendent of the North Louisiana Hill Farm Experiment Station, includes the findings of a research effort designed to contribute to the rural development mission in Louisiana. The project was under- taken upon invitation from civic and public agencies in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, and could not have been completed without the coopera- tion of parish leaders. The cooperation and help of the State Department of Public Works and the Louisiana Commission on Intergovernmental Relations is also gratefully acknowledged. The reader of this report should be aware that it is not concerned in a specific sense with the economic impact of the proposed reservoir. This important aspect of the total "impact" study is being prepared by members of the Louisiana Polytechnic University Faculty. Motivation for the Reservoir Project Claiborne Parish is one of several parishes in the state that have not prospered in the last quarter century. This lack of prosperity has been attributed to the mechanization of farms, which has displaced many smaller farmers and laborers, and the lack of industrial development. A recent study by the Coordinating and Development Council of Northwest Louisiana (May 1974) indicates that the future of the parish will continue to be dim unless something is done to reverse current trends. Among other things, the Council predicted a continued relatively rapid drop in population in the parish to and beyond 1990. The decrease in population was seen by the authors of the Council report as curtailing economic *The authors of this report, in addition to the Project Leader, are: Stephen E. Doeren, Kevin B. Smith, Walter E. Stead, and Howard F. Thomas. ^See: Rural Development: Fifth Annual Report of the President to the Con- gress on Government Services to Rural America (Rural Development Services, U.S.D.A., Washington, D.C., 1974). 5 . transportation and public activity and, added to the lack of necessary for orderly growth and develop- utility services, unduly disrupting chances paragraph above, the Faced with the bleak outlook outlined in the agencies and individ- Claiborne Parish Planning Commission and other inaugurate programs to reverse the uals in the parish have attempted to campaigns are in the downward trends of the parish.

They are the hardest employers of white workmen, and they expect to get as much labor from a slave as they have forced from the necessities of white men. No system of slavery in the world, that we have any knowledge of, is as harsh, inhuman and cruel as that which prevails in the Yankee merchant marine. The scenes of horror that are of constant occurrence in Yankee vessels have caused the whole civilized world to stand aghast. For years before the present rupture, the English journals were filled with accounts of cruelties and murders practiced upon American seamen in the various lines of packets and freight ships trading between the North and England.

  • Louisiana's Cultural Regions
    Section3 Louisiana’s Cultural Regions As you read, look for: • the similarities and differences among Louisiana’s cultural regions, and • vocabulary terms region, upland South, urban, and rural. Visiting the state’s many festivals is one way to study the elements of Louisiana’s culture. A map shows these elements in a different way. The Louisiana Depart- ment of Culture, Recreation and Tourism divides the state into five regions. A region is an area defined by similar features. Physical regions include common climate and landforms. Cultural regions include similar elements of culture such as ethnic heritage, language, religion, food, music, or recreation. Each of Louisiana’s five cultural regions, shown in Map 1, has cultural ties that makes it different in some ways from the rest of the state. Map 1 Louisiana’s Cultural Regions Map Skill: In which cultural region do you live? Top: An Acadian homestead is one of the attractions at Longfellow-Evangeline State Commemorative Area in St. Martinville. Section 3 Louisiana’s Cultural Regions 17 Sportsman’s Paradise Region This region’s label was chosen because of the many lakes, rolling hills, and forests in northern Louisiana that offer abundant outdoor recreation for residents and visitors. Fishing and hunting have been a part of life here for generations. Bass fishing tournaments are big business on the lakes of the region. Newer sports like water-skiing and power-boat racing add a different kind of excitement. North Louisiana has more in common with the neighboring states of Missis- sippi, Alabama, and Georgia than with South Louisiana. A cultural anthropolo- gist uses the term upland South to describe this region.

Traffic counts also serve as an important input in highway safety performance evaluation. However, collecting traffic volume on all rural non-state roads has been very limited for various reasons, although these roads constitute a great portion (60 to 70%) of road mileage in the roadway network of any state in the U.S.
