1950 Map of Red Bluff

About this map

Little River carves a complex, winding path through the borderlands of Hempstead and Little River counties, defining a landscape dominated by oxbow lakes and meandering sloughs. In this 1950s era survey, the river is flanked by numerous named water bodies including Beard Lake, Cypress Lake, and the winding Bois d'Arc Bayou. The settlement of Saratoga serves as a local hub near the Saratoga Cemetery and Christian Church, while smaller locales like Red Bluff and Moore Camp sit along the tracks of the San Francisco railroad line.
