2015 Map of Coup Point

About this map

Goldonna sits at the northern edge of this landscape, where the meandering Saline Bayou serves as the dividing line between Natchitoches and Winn Parishes. The eastern portion of the area is dominated by the Saline Lake basin and the protected woodlands of the Kisatchie National Forest. A complex network of local roads and trails, such as Mammy Trl and Orb Atkins Rd, crisscross the terrain between significant waterways like Big Fordoche Cr and Cheechee Cr. The topography is defined by subtle rises and points, including Burnt Pine Point and Yarmuck Hill, overlooking the marshy expanses near Black Lake Bayou. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where numerous family-named camps and landings like Meyers Camp Rd and Lyles Camp Rd indicate a landscape deeply tied to the lake and forest for recreation and industry.
