About this map

Bossier City and Shreveport dominate the landscape along the meandering Red River, showcasing a period of significant urban and suburban development at the end of the 20th century. The intricate drainage network of the Red River basin is on full display, featuring oxbow remnants like Horseshoe Lake, Round Lake, and Swan Lake, alongside Willow Chute Bayou. These natural water bodies contrast with the industrial and civic expansion represented by the Bossier City Reservoir and the expansive Barksdale Air Force Base to the south.

Residential growth is evident in settlements like Vanceville and Brownlee, supported by institutional hubs such as Airline Community College and Northwest Louisiana State Sch. Cultural and community landmarks are frequent, including Greenwood Cemetery, St Judes Ch, and the Rusheon Jr High Sch. The map also captures the local extraction economy through several labeled Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit near the riverbanks.
