About this map

Rock Hill and Bagdad anchor this central Louisiana landscape, where the winding course of the Red River defines the southern boundary. The area is characterized by an intricate network of waterways, including Bayou Rigolette, Saline Bayou, and Caney Bayou, which traverse the lowlands. These bayous and their associated tributaries, such as Gray Cr and Hudson Cr, create a complex drainage pattern that has historically shaped the placement of roads and homesteads.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and cemeteries scattered across the terrain. From the Union Cem in the west to the Coleman Cem and Frazier Cem in the east, these sites offer a direct connection to the early residents of Creola and Magnolia Park. The map also captures the transition from bottomlands to the more established settlements near Harrison Camp, reflecting the long-standing relationship between the local population and the riverine environment.
