2020 Map of Aloha

About this map

Red River and the Cane River define this complex alluvial landscape along the border of Grant and Natchitoches Parishes. The terrain is a labyrinth of backwaters and oxbows, featuring numerous named water bodies like Nantachie Lake, Chicot Lake, and Lake Morantine. Small settlements such as Aloha, Marco, and Odra are positioned near the waterways, reflecting the region's historic reliance on river systems for commerce and agriculture. The map documents a highly managed floodplain, where the Red River Levee Rd runs parallel to the primary channel, protecting the low-lying Ash Brake Bottom and surrounding wetlands. Genealogists and local historians can find site-specific details such as the Marce Cem near Marco and family-associated landmarks like the Little Eva Plantation Rd, providing a clear record of land use and habitation patterns in this riverine corridor during the early 21st century.
