1960 Map of Bossier City

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Red River creates a meandering border between Caddo and Bossier Parishes, shaping the development of Shreveport and Bossier City during the mid-20th century. This 1960 revision, featuring purple-tinted urban extensions from 1969, illustrates a landscape in transition as residential growth pushes north and east into former bayou lands. The infrastructure of the era is defined by the St Louis Southwestern and Kansas City Southern railroads, which intersect the urban grid near the Downtown Airport and several neighborhood institutions like Mitchell High Sch and Rusheon Jr High Sch.
