About this map

Bossier City and the neighboring Shreveport riverfront are shown in detail during the late 1940s, a period when the region's transport network was heavily defined by the winding course of the Red River. The map reveals a complex landscape of bayous and drainage systems, including the Southwestern Bayou and Bodcau Bayou, which navigate the lowland terrain between the rising upland ridges. Large-scale military and civil infrastructure is prominent, notably Barksdale Field and the Municipal Airport, reflecting the strategic importance of this northwestern Louisiana corridor.
