If it is over lake Henderson.
I saw a book with pictures in it showing the area.
There use to be a town there before the great Mississippi River flood.
The pilings supported a rail road from Henderson/ Breaux Bridge area to there.
Homes were built on pilings.
When it was dry people used the land as I saw pictures. People raised livestock & chickens on it and had small gardens.
When it flooded peoples homes were on pilings along with 1 or 2 cows, a few pigs, and a few chickens on the piers.
Railroad was on pilings.
Then they moved people after the great Mississippi River Flood to where present day Henderson is.
Then the Army corps built a levee.
My wife had some relatives to live there.
One of my wives relatives before he passed away had a book with pictures of the area before, during, and after the great Mississippi River flood.
The community of Pelba RIP. Still lots of pilings from the long gone railroad
