2012 Map of Natchitoches South

About this map

Northwestern State University anchors the northern reaches of this landscape, situated just above the winding Cane River Lake. This region of Natchitoches Parish is defined by its complex network of alluvial waterways and bayous, including Bayou Julien, Bayou Natchez, and Limekiln Bayou. The map illustrates the transition from the institutional grounds of the Natchitoches Regional Airport to the rural settlements of Natchez and Bermuda. This area is characterized by low-lying islands like Natchitoches Island and the elevated Camel Hill, where Camel Cem is located. The presence of the Natchitoches National Fish Hatchery and several river crossings, such as Pratts Bridge and the Cane River Bridge, highlights a landscape managed for both education and natural resources at the start of the 2010s.
