About this map

Bayou Pierre and the winding channels of the Old Spanish Lake Lowlands define this corner of Natchitoches Parish during the late 1930s. The landscape is a mosaic of dense brakes and bayous, including Halls Brake, Berry Brake, and the intricately looped Coon Slough. This topographic record, compiled from aerial photographs, reveals a dispersed rural community supported by a network of small schoolhouses and churches. Family names and local landmarks are preserved in sites like the John Cortes Grant and various educational centers such as Halls Sch, Durr Sch, and Evergreen Sch. The map also captures the Little River or Spanish Lake Fish Pond and the small settlement at Allen along the State Highway, illustrating the relationship between the low-lying wetlands and early 20th-century transportation routes.
