2012 Map of Campti

About this map

Campti and Creston anchor this topographic study of Natchitoches Parish, where the complex waterways of Black Lake dominate the northern landscape. The map details an intricate network of islands and peninsulas, including Pine Island, Bird Island, and Agness Point, set against the sprawling waters of the lake. In the southern portion, the Red River defines the border, while the winding Bourbeaux Bayou and Campti Bayou drain the lowlands. The presence of the Campti Cem and numerous family-named roads like BJ Smith Rd and Ben Gellette Rd provide significant touchpoints for local genealogy. The varied terrain, from the Weaver Slough to the higher ground at Sandy Point, illustrates the historic drainage patterns of this river-and-lake environment in the early 21st century.
