About this map

Cannisnia Lake Basin and the winding course of the Red River dominate this Louisiana landscape at the intersection of Caddo, Red River, and De Soto Parishes. The map reveals a complex network of waterways, where Bayou Pierre and Prairie Bayou weave through low-lying bottomlands, punctuated by scattered rural settlements like Star Point. This era shows a landscape managed for both extraction and agriculture, evidenced by an Oil Field and scattered Gas Wells alongside modern Fish Farm operations. Social life is anchored by country churches and cemeteries, such as New Friendship Ch and its accompanying New Friendship Cem, while the Pacific railroad line cuts across the northeastern corner. Infrastructure like the Gravel Point Bridge and La Coupe Bridge provide vital crossings over the numerous bayous that define the region's topography.
