About this map

Bodcau Bayou and the expansive waters of Bodcau Lake dominate this northwest Louisiana landscape during the early 1930s. The region is characterized by its wetlands and drainage networks, including Black Bayou and Red Chute, which reflect the hydrology of Bossier Parish before modern water management. Small rural communities like Bellevue and Midway serve as local hubs, connected by early transportation routes such as State Highway No 184. The industrial footprint of the era is clearly visible through the presence of a Lumber R R narrow-gage line, highlighting the importance of the timber industry to the local economy. Social life is anchored by institutions like Belcher Ch, Bethlehem Ch, and several schools including Midway Sch and Longview Sch, which mark the centers of these quiet agricultural and timber-producing settlements.
