2015 Map of Saint Maurice

About this map

Saint Maurice sits at the southern edge of this Louisiana landscape, positioned where the Little Natches Bayou meets the winding course of the Red River and Old River. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways and low-lying basins, including the southern reaches of Black Lake and Saline Lake. Within the Kisatchie National Forest, the topography rises toward distinctive landmarks such as The Butte and Cedar Bluff. Local family history is rooted in the small settlements of Trichell and Luella, with further genealogy data found at Pace Cem and Saline Cem. The complex drainage patterns of Bourbeaux Bayou, Cane Bayou, and Brule Bayou illustrate the seasonal hydrology that has shaped land use and road development in this part of Natchitoches and Winn Parishes.
