About this map

The Red River and its intricate drainage network dominate this section of the Louisiana landscape, where the Kansas City Southern and Missouri Pacific railroads follow the river's winding course. This area at the border of Red River Parish and Natchitoches Parish is dotted with small rural communities and local landmarks like Grappes Bluff. The settlement at Fairview Alpha serves as a local hub, surrounded by a dense distribution of country churches including Fairview Ch, Zion Ch, and Calvary Ch. The hydrology of the floodplain is particularly well-documented, showing the relationship between the active Red River, the Old River loop, and various backwaters such as Lake Poule d'eau and Blue Lake. Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped locations of Hawes Cem and Nativity Cem, which anchor the history of these river-side communities.
