2015 Map of Allen

About this map

Allen sits at a transition point where the rising ground of King Hill meets the complex hydrology of the Natchitoches Parish basin. The landscape is defined by its winding waterways, including the significant Bayou Pierre and Tapalcat Bayou, which drain through the Old Spanish Lake Lowlands. This 2015 survey reveals a pattern of rural settlement and local connectivity maintained through a network of named parish roads such as Reed Flores Rd and Crossroads Church Rd. Local heritage is anchored by landmarks like Saint Annes Cem, while the natural drainage of Coon Slough and Middle Bayou illustrates the low-lying character of the eastern terrain. The presence of La-485 provides the primary transit artery, cutting across a land of bayous and ridges that have shaped the development of this Louisiana community.
