About this map

The Red River and the Little River dominate this Central Louisiana landscape, where winding bayous and oxbow lakes define the boundaries of Natchitoches, Winn, and Grant Parishes. In the early 1940s, the river economy is evident in the dense string of settlements and churches along the Cane River Lake, including Cloutierville and the historic Melrose community. The map reveals a complex network of waterways such as Bayou Brevelle and Bayou Derbonne, interspersed with significant landmarks like St Augustines Ch and St James Ch.
