1989 Map of Allen

About this map

Bayou Pierre and the Old Spanish Lake Lowlands anchor the landscape of this northwest Louisiana region during the late 1980s. The settlement of Allen sits at the nexus of several watercourses and wetland features typical of the Red River valley ecosystem, including distinctive swampy areas like Halls Brake and Berry Brake. The terrain is defined by a intricate network of bayous such as Cow Bayou, Rocks Bayou, and Terre Blanc Bayou, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Natchitoches Parish area before modern drainage alterations were fully realized. Landforms such as King Hill and family-named drainages like Williamson Branch and Magason Branch provide specific landmarks for genealogical and land-use research. To the east, Horseshoe Lake and Coon Slough highlight the historic oxbow formations and secondary water channels that shaped early local transport and settlement patterns.
