1957 Map of Campti

About this map

Natchitoches anchors the southern portion of this mid-century survey, showing the campus of NW State College and the surrounding street grid before significant late-century expansion. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Red River and its complex network of bayous, including Bayou Pierre and Three League Bayou. In the center of the sheet, the river creates a massive loop around Smith Island, while the Old Spanish Lake Lowlands occupy the southwest, reflecting the region's alluvial history and drainage patterns.
