2015 Map of Blanchard
USGS Topo · Published 2015About this map
Cross Lake and its intricate northern shoreline dominate the southern reaches of this landscape northwest of Shreveport. The geography is defined by a network of waterways including Gardener Bayou, Fordney Bayou, and Page Bayou, which feed into the lake's basin around features like Gum Island and the Twin Islands. The area exhibits a pattern of established rural centers and emerging residential developments typical of the Caddo Parish outskirts during this period. Local history is anchored by the community of Blanchard and smaller settlements like Longwood, Pleasant Grove, and Shipp. Genealogists may find value in the presence of the Mount Zion Cem and Walker Hill Cem, while the road network shows the growth of suburban pockets like Dune Estates and Lakeshore North near the water.
