Black Lake dominates this Natchitoches Parish landscape, its expansive waters punctuated by numerous named points and islands such as Button Willow Island and Agness Point. The settlement of Creston sits near the northern reaches of the lake, while the town of Campti is situated to the southwest, positioned near the Red River and served by the Kansas City Southern railroad. This map reveals a complex network of waterways, including Campti Bayou and Bourbeaux Bayou, that thread through the lowland areas. A high density of local roads, such as Dan Williams Rd and Ben Gellette Rd, underscores the established rural residency and agricultural patterns of the early 21st century. Genealogists may find particular interest in the location of the Campti Cem, which serves as a central landmark for local family histories in this river-and-lake region.
