About this map

The Red River meanders through the alluvial lowlands of Red River Parish, defining a landscape shaped by oxbow lakes and complex bayou networks. This region, characterized by its historical reliance on the river and fertile bottomlands, features small clusters of settlement such as East Point and Westdale. The intricate water systems, including Loggy Bayou and Alligator Bayou, illustrate the natural drainage patterns of the Louisiana delta, where the terrain is punctuated by significant bodies of water like Long Lake and Crichton Lake.

Family and local history is anchored at sites like Saint Marks Cem and the small community of New Hope. The map captures the intersection of several parishes, including Bossier, Caddo, and Bienville, highlighting the political and geographic boundaries that define this rural corridor. Transportation is primarily facilitated by a grid of parish roads that navigate around the wetland features, connecting established locales like Crichton and Ninock to the surrounding agricultural lands.
