About this map

Red River meanders through this portion of Red River Parish, defining a landscape of active and relic waterways. The transition from the alluvial floodplain to the eastern uplands is marked by a series of oxbow features and named lakes, including Wilson Lake, Crichton Lake, and Beard Lake. Small settlements and agricultural hubs like Harmon, Gahagan, and Abington are connected by a network of parish roads and the arterial La-515.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-documented burial sites such as Morrison Cem, Tanyard Cem, and New Star Cem located near established family land tracts. The presence of Stuart Airstrip and the Red River Mine Rd indicates the intersection of local aviation and resource extraction within the rural economy. Significant terrain features like Paps Hill and Couchanda Hill provide rare elevation changes in the otherwise low-lying river valley, while the De Soto Parish Red River Parish boundary line cuts through the western edge of the survey.
