1982 Map of Blanchard

About this map

The northern reaches of Cross Lake dominate the southern portion of this landscape, where the Shreveport Corp Limits trace the complex shoreline around Pine Island and the Twin Islands. The topography is defined by an intricate network of waterways draining toward the lake, including Choctaw Bayou and Shettleworth Bayou. Small residential clusters and rural outposts such as Blanchard and Longwood indicate the early 1980s suburban expansion and rural settlement patterns of Caddo Parish.
