The lock on Black River south of Jonesville would've made Catahoula Lake a permanent lake w/o the Diversion Canal.

The most important change at Catahoula Lake was a set of locks and dams in the Black River completed in 1972, which would have permanently inundated the lake.
For the seasonal drawdown, an 18-mile canal was constructed to allow the lake to drain below the locks, and a water control structure was added to allow control of water in the lake. Management of this structure has been according to a strict prescription for annual fluctuations in water levels developed by the agencies concerned and is presently accomplished as a cooperative endeavor by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and the Army Corps of Engineers.

quote:The Black River Lock was installed in conjunction with the locks at Columbia, and Felsenthal in order to put a minimum 9' depth channel on the Ouachita - the goal was to get barge navigation/traffic to Camden, AR. This L & D system affects (adversely for wildlife/waterfowl particularly IMO) the Black River, Little River, Tensas River, and Ouachita River.
