About this map

The Red River meanders through the heart of this Caddo and Bossier Parish landscape, creating a complex network of oxbows and secondary waterways like Old River Lake and Half Moon Lake. Small settlements such as Elm Grove and Caspiana anchor the riverfront, while the Caspiana Levee Rd follows the winding banks of the main channel. The terrain is defined by low-lying basins and bayous, including the Cannisnia Lake Basin and Negro Bayou, which reveal the area's history as a flood-prone alluvial plain.

Industry and transport are represented by Old Hwy 71 and various plantation-related corridors like White House Plantation Rd. Local aviation is noted at the Pilkinton Airstrip near McDade, and navigation points such as Youngs Point Landing indicate the river's historic role as a primary artery for movement between Atkins and Lachute. This survey provides a clear view of the rural settlement patterns and drainage systems along the parish lines.
