Blackhawk is a rural community near Shaw in Corcordia Parish, Louisiana, United States, on the west bank of the Mississippi River. It was one of the last rural areas of Louisiana to receive reliable phone service, after Centennial Wireless built a cellular tower in 2005. Crops grown at Blackhawk include sugarcane. In recent years, the Vicksburg District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has worked on strengthening a section of the mainline Mississippi River levee system near Blackhawk.
