1985 Map of Colfax
USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
The parish seat of Colfax anchors the banks of the Red River in this mid-1980s landscape, where the alluvial plain meets the complex bayou networks of central Louisiana. The terrain is defined by the expansive Iatt Lake to the east and the meandering courses of Rigolette Bayou and Grappe Bayou. Local history is visible in the smaller settlements and geographic markers such as Summerfield, Mc Neely, and the aptly named The Rock. The area's hydrology is particularly intricate, featuring numerous named branches like Three Branches Creek and Cholera Branch, alongside oxbow remnants like Flag Lake. This survey captures the region's intersection of water and land, showing a community structured by its riverine geography and agricultural boundaries including the meeting point of Natchitoches, Rapides, and Grant Parishes.
