  The Mississippi River from the Natchez, Adams Co., MS side, looking
 towards Vidalia, Concordia Parish, LA.  To the left,  the LADY LUCK
 casino boat is moored at Natchez Under-The-Hill.  The bridge was
    opened on Sept. 26, 1940.  Prior to that, ferries transported travelers
 across the river.  For many years, the Robert McNEELY family of
     Natchez owned and operated the only ferry connecting the two cities.

    Donnelly Lake at New Era - For years mistakenly called Donald
    Lake.  This lake is located near the Black River and was possibly
    one time part  of it.  It is a beautiful lake of about 350 acres and, in
    addition to it's beauty, offers some great fishing.  The lake is pretty
    much isolated from the general public, and is peaceful and serene.

The Black River (foreground) where it joins the Red River (center, top) near Acme, Concordia Parish, LA.  In this photo, The Red River combines with with the Black River from the right.   The Black River is flowing to the left  where it makes a bend and continues south, southeast toward the Mississippi River (about 20 miles away as the crow flies.)   Three Louisiana parishes meet at this confluence:  Concordia (foreground), Avoyelles (left), and Catahoula (top right).
