2015 Map of Natchitoches South

About this map

Cane River Creole National Historical Park anchors the southeastern landscape of this survey, preserving the unique cultural heritage of the Cane River region. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Red River and complex local hydrology, including Vienna Bend, Chaplin Lake, and Bayou Poisson. The southern periphery of Natchitoches transitions into smaller settlements and riverfront communities like Natchez, Point Place, and Bermuda, where the Cane River Bridge provides a vital local crossing. Genealogists can identify significant landmarks such as Lee Cem and Camel Cem near Camel Hill. The transport network relies on a mix of parish roads and historic routes, while the Natchitoches Regional Airport marks the modern utility of the northern reaches of this Louisiana parish.
