1955 Map of Bossier City

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Bossier City and the expanding military footprint of Barksdale Air Force Base anchor this mid-century landscape along the Red River. The map reveals a complex network of bayous and former river channels, including Willow Chute and Flat River, which defined the local agriculture and drainage patterns before modern suburban growth. This era shows the convergence of several major rail lines like the Illinois Central RR and St Louis Southwestern RR, supporting the region's oil fields and lumber interests.
