2018 Map of Provencal

About this map

Provencal serves as the primary hub of this 2018 survey, where the local grid is defined by North Blvd, Main St, and the intersection of various parish roads. The landscape transition from the small rural centers of Hagewood and Victoria into the protected timberlands of the Kisatchie National Forest in the south is clearly delineated. A network of bayous and branches, including the winding Bayou Provencal and Bayou Serpent, crisscrosses the terrain, indicating a complex hydrology typical of the Natchitoches Parish area. Genealogists will find a wealth of family and community history preserved here, with several significant burial sites such as Shiloh Cem, Hawthorne Cems, and the Vascocu Cem situated throughout the quadrangle, often near the old road traces like Old State Hwy 6 and Big Hill Fire Tower Rd.
