About this map

Cane River Lake and the serpentine curves of the Red River dominate the eastern landscape of this 1940s survey, illustrating a classic Louisiana delta environment where water dictates the patterns of settlement. The Texas and Pacific RR serves as a primary transit spine, connecting the communities of Provencal, Cypress, and Flora. Evidence of the region's timber and agricultural heritage is visible through the Logging RR spurs and the numerous family-named landmarks and country churches, such as Hickory Grove Ch and St Charles Ch, which anchor the rural neighborhoods.
