Central Louisiana, also known as the Crossroads region, is the part of Louisiana which includes the following parishes: Allen Parish, Beauregard Parish, Catahoula Parish, Concordia Parish, Grant Parish, La Salle Parish, Natchitoches Parish, Rapides Parish, Sabine Parish, and Vernon Parish.
Central Louisiana is a land of striking physical and cultural contrasts. It is a land of bayous meandering through swamplands, piney hill country, extensive prairies, and deciduous forests. It has clear streams with sandy bottoms and mighty rivers that carry waterborne freight.
