About this map

Powhatan and its surrounding riverine landscape are documented here during the late 1930s, showing a complex network of waterways typical of the Red River Valley. The terrain is defined by the Red River and Old River, with numerous bayous and ditches such as Pierre Bayou and Barton Ditch draining the low-lying agricultural lands. The Old Spanish Lake Lowlands occupy a significant portion of the western sheet, reflecting the historical topography before modern water management.

Social centers for the local rural community are scattered across the parish, including North Star Ch, Oak Grove Ch, and New Zion Sch. The Texas and Pacific railroad provides a primary transportation spine, running parallel to State Highway 1. This map captures the precise location of St Lukes Cem and Berry's Bridge, providing valuable spatial data for family historians and researchers interested in the settlement patterns of Natchitoches Parish during this era.
