2012 Map of Hanna

About this map

The meandering course of the Red River defines the landscape of Natchitoches Parish in this 2012 survey, where complex water systems like Hollingsworth Cutoff and Horseshoe Bayou reveal the river's historical shifts. Small river settlements and agricultural hubs like Hanna, Piermont, and Lake End are connected by a network of parish roads, reflecting a community tied closely to the fertile bottomlands. Industrial activity is evident through the Red Oak Oil and Gas Field and the Lake End Oil Field, which punctuate the rural terrain near the banks of Bayou Pierre and Jims River. Genealogists will find significant local history at several burial sites, including Union Hall Cem, Browne Cem, and Haley Cem. The presence of The Red River Airport and the local Po in Hanna highlight the area's continued role as a functional crossroads in the early 21st century.
