About this map

Bellevue and the rural crossroads of Midway anchor this section of Bossier Parish, where the winding course of Bodcau Creek and Dry Cypress Bayou define the landscape. The geography is characterized by the extensive wetlands and bottomlands associated with the Bayou Bodcau Reservoir and Bodcau Lake, illustrating the complex water management and drainage patterns of the Red River basin. Local history and genealogy interests are grounded in features like Hawkins Cem, situated south of the reservoir area.

A network of local routes such as Bodcau Dam Rd, Linton Bellvue Rd, and Cotton Valley Rd connect these small settlements through the timbered terrain. The map details various family-named landmarks and water features, including Tidwell Br and the area near Dean Point, providing a contemporary look at the land's transition from traditional agricultural uses to managed reservoir and recreational spaces.
