1972 Map of Bossier Point

About this map

Lake Bistineau dominates the northeastern landscape of this Bossier Parish region, its indefinite boundary and spillway elevation shaping the surrounding wetlands and drainage patterns. The intricate network of waterways, including Loggy Bayou, Flat River, and Ninock Bayou, defines the low-lying terrain as it approaches the Red River. Near the Kansas City Southern rail line, small settlements like Cooterville and Poole appear alongside local landmarks such as Mary Magdalene Church and its accompanying Cemetery. This 1970s survey captures a transition in the local economy, marked by the presence of an Oil Well near the river and a Gravel Pit to the east, while spiritual life is anchored by dispersed rural congregations at Mt Nebo Church and Fairview Church.
