About this map

The Red River defines the landscape of this Louisiana territory, where the borders of Natchitoches, Red River, and De Soto parishes converge. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by complex hydrology, from the Hollingsworth Cutoff to the winding course of Bayou Pierre. Small settlements like Hanna, Piermont, and Lake End are connected by a network of parish roads that follow the high ground and river levees. Evidence of long-standing community roots appears in local burial grounds such as Browne Cem and Union Hall Cem.

Modern infrastructure, including The Red River Airport and the Jordon Ferry Bridge, exists alongside older water features like Ida Lake, Old Lake, and Porters Lake. The map reveals a transition from the river-bottom wetlands of Porters Island to the elevated terrain of King Hill in the south. This area illustrates the persistence of rural settlements in a landscape frequently reshaped by the shifting channels of the Red River and its surrounding bayous.
