1955 Map of Caspiana

About this map

The meandering Red River corridor south of Shreveport and Bossier City reveals a landscape defined by sharp river bends and an extensive network of rural schools and churches. This mid-century survey illustrates the rural-industrial character of the Red River valley, where the Elm Grove Oil and Gas Field and Caspiana Gas Field operate alongside historic agricultural settlements. The eastern boundary of the river is dominated by the sprawling Barksdale Air Force Base, while the western side features complex water systems like Wallace Lake and its many bayous. For those researching local family history, the map provides precise locations for numerous community landmarks, including Ravenwood Sch, Daisy Grove Sch, and Evergreen Ch, which served the small riverfront towns of Caspiana, Robson, and Taylortown before modern consolidation.
