About this map

The Red River defines the landscape of this Louisiana quadrangle, weaving through a complex network of waterways that includes The Cutoff, Grand Bayou, and Bayou Pierre. The area is characterized by an intricate patchwork of sloughs, lakes, and bayous such as Butler Slough and Honey Bayou, which reflect the dynamic nature of the river's floodplain. Small settlements like Harmon, Emmett, and Abington are scattered across the lowlands, connected by a grid of parish roads that navigate the water-logged terrain.

For genealogists, the map is a significant resource, documenting numerous local burial sites including Morrison Cem, New Star Cem, Taylor Cem, and Saint Mark Cem. The presence of the Red River Mine Rd near Armistead suggests the intersection of local industry with the rural landscape. Other notable landmarks include Couchanda Hill and Paps Hill, which provide rare elevation in this riverine environment. The administrative boundary between Red River Parish and De Soto Parish also cuts through the western portion of the map.
