1983 Map of Aloha

About this map

The Red River serves as a winding boundary between Natchitoches and Grant Parishes, defining a landscape of complex waterways and seasonal lakes. The settlement of Aloha sits along the Kansas City Southern railroad, adjacent to the Aloha Oil Field, illustrating the intersection of transportation and local industry. To the southwest, the Cane River meanders through the lower terrain, punctuated by community landmarks such as St Simons Ch and St Marys Ch. The presence of the Little Eva Plantation Landing Strip near Blanchard Lake highlights the agricultural operations that occupy the fertile bottomlands. Numerous oxbows and backwaters like Lake Cocodrie and Nantachie Lake suggest a river system with a dynamic history of shifting channels. Genealogists may find interest in the Marco Cem and various rural churches that served the small communities of Odra, Aigle, and Marco.
