About this map

Barksdale Military Reservation dominates the southern landscape of this 1932 survey, reflecting the significant federal presence in Bossier Parish during the interwar years. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Bodcau Lake Bayou and Red Chute Bayou, which create a complex network of wetlands and drainage. Human settlement is clustered along the primary transportation corridors, most notably the Illinois Central railroad and U S Highway No 80. Small rural communities like Princeton, Fillmore, and Haughton serve as local hubs, characterized by a high density of country churches and schools such as Peace Chapel, Starlight Ch, and Cedar Grove Sch. The map also preserves the locations of family-associated landmarks like the Harper and Reed cemeteries, providing a detailed record of the social and physical geography before later 20th-century developments reshaped the region.
