About this map

The Red River defines the southern boundary of this Grant and Rapides Parish landscape, where the alluvial lowlands meet the rising timberlands of the Kisatchie National Forest. Small settlements such as Bagdad, Rock Hill, and Creola are connected by a network of rural routes like Rigolette Rd and Old US-71, following the natural contours of the land between the river and the forest.

Genealogical interest is found in numerous local burial grounds, including Union Cem, Cruikshank Cem, and Anthony Cem, which are scattered throughout the hills north of the river. The topography is marked by several bayous and creeks, such as Bayou Rigolette and Walden Bayou, that drain the northern ridges toward the river valley. Landmarks like Olivia Mountain and the suburban layout of Magnolia Park illustrate the varied land use between protected federal forests and the developing riverfront corridor.
