2024 Map of Natchitoches South

About this map

Cane River Creole National Historical Park anchors the eastern portion of this map, reflecting a landscape defined by the winding course of the Old River and its associated bayous. The historic settlement of Natchitoches sits at the northern edge, where urban development meets the agricultural and ecological corridors of the Red River valley. The area is a complex network of waterways, including Bayou Natchez, Bayou Grande, and Limekiln Bayou, which trace the low-lying terrain surrounding Camel Hill. Local heritage is visible in the placement of small communities like Natchez, Bermuda, and Vienna Bend, alongside established landmarks such as the Natchitoches National Fish Hatchery. For genealogists, the map identifies specific burial sites including Old River Hill Cem and Lee Cem, providing a detailed spatial context for local family histories within this distinct Louisiana riverine environment.
