Cypress Bayou is the name applied to a series ofwetlands at the western edge ofCaddo Lake, in and aroundJefferson, Texas, making up part of the largest Cypress forest in the world. Thebayou is divided into three areas—each part of the watershed of a small river or creek—Little Cypress,Big Cypress, andBlack Cypress. The features had been modified, to an extent, by human beings in the 19th and 20th centuries, but today is endangered by pollution, development, and thedeforestation, throughclear cutting, of thePiney Woods that surround the bayous. Large groves of trees have completely died off, and land has been recently deforested up to the water's edge.[1]
