About this map

The Red River defines the landscape as it winds through the alluvial plains of Caddo Parish and Bossier Parish. This modern topographic survey illustrates the complex hydrology of the Red River Valley, where abandoned river channels and oxbow formations are visible as Moon Lake Bed and Gold Point Lake. To the west of the river's main channel, the small communities of Dixie, Hayti, and Belcher are situated along the transportation corridor that follows the edge of the wetlands.

On the eastern bank, the terrain rises toward Hurricane Bluffs, providing a geographic contrast to the western floodplains. The map details local landmarks like the Dickson Cem and Belcher Airpatch, alongside a network of rural routes such as Old Plain Dealing Rd and Hurricane Bluff Rd. These features reflect a rural economy and settlement pattern deeply connected to the river's historical movements and the fertile lands of the surrounding bayous, including Horseshoe Bayou and Twelvemile Bayou.
