About this map

Bossier City serves as the focal point of this late 1970s survey, illustrating a period of significant suburban expansion and industrial development along the Red River. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling presence of Barksdale Air Force Base and the newly developed horse racing facilities at Louisiana Downs. North of the city, the newly created Cypress Bayou Reservoir and Bodcau State Wildlife Area Reservoir have altered the traditional drainage patterns of Cypress Bayou and Bodcau Bayou, reflecting a modern shift toward water management and recreation.
