About this map

The Parish borders of De Soto, Sabine, and Natchitoches intersect in this 1980s landscape, where a network of bayous and creeks defines the drainage of north-central Louisiana. The map reveals a working landscape characterized by an active Oil Field and communication infrastructure, including a Lookout Tower and Radio Tower. Residential development is sparse, primarily concentrated near small crossings like Stacy and Dobs Crossing.

Water is the dominant geographical feature, from the winding path of Bayou San Miguel in the southwest to the wetlands around Lockes Ponds and the upper reaches of Wallace Bayou. Numerous smaller tributaries such as Hollis Creek, Dykes Creek, and Rawhide Creek carve through the terrain, illustrating the intricate hydrology of the Red River basin before the further modernization of the late 20th century.
