1955 Map of Caspiana

About this map

Shreveport and Bossier City anchor the northwestern edge of this mid-century landscape, where the Red River snakes through a complex network of bayous, chutes, and oxbow lakes. The transition from urban expansion to agricultural and industrial activity is clear, marked by the extensive footprint of Barksdale Air Force Base and the Red River Valley Agricultural Station. Along the river’s winding course, smaller settlements such as Caspiana, Taylortown, and Elm Grove serve as centers for a rural economy increasingly defined by energy extraction, evidenced by the Sligo Oil and Gas Field and Elm Grove Oil and Gas Field.
