1955 Map of Bossier City

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Bodcau Bayou and the complex wetlands of the Red River floodplain define this mid-century landscape of northern Louisiana. The map reveals a transition between the industrialized urban core of Bossier City and the surrounding rural parishes, where agriculture and resource extraction meet. Extensive levee systems and drainage works, such as the Drainage Canal and Willow Chute, illustrate the mid-century efforts to manage the river's influence on the land.
