1955 Map of Bossier City

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Bossier City and eastern Shreveport dominate this mid-1950s landscape, illustrating the rapid mid-century growth of the Red River valley. The urban grid is heavily influenced by a dense network of transportation corridors, including the Illinois Central RR, St Louis Southwestern RR, and the Kansas City Southern RR. While the riverfront is marked by industry and infrastructure like the Downtown Airport and gravel pits, the surrounding alluvial plains reveal a complex system of waterways such as Willow Chute and Flat River.
