Jonesville is the largest town in Catahoula Parish, Louisiana, United States, at the confluence of the Ouachita, Tensas, and Little rivers. The three rivers become the Black River at Jonesville, though the "Black" is primarily the continuation of the Ouachita River. A new bridge has been built over the Black River. After some miles, the Black flows into the Red River.
The Jonesville population was 2,265 at the 2010 census. The parish seat is Harrisonburg to the north, which is actually smaller than Jonesville.
Jonesville is located at 31°37′30″N 91°49′35″W / 31.62500°N 91.82639°W (31.624934, −91.826339). Its northern border is formed by the Little River, while its eastern border is formed by the Black River. The confluence of the Ouachita and Tensas rivers to form the Black River is 0.4 miles (0.64 km) north of the town limits. Concordia Parish is to the east across the Black River.
