1975 Map of Eastwood

About this map

Barksdale Air Force Base dominates the southern landscape of this Bossier Parish survey, showing the extensive Sligo gas and oil field operations and the waters of Flag Lake. To the north, the corridor along the Kansas City Southern railroad line and the Illinois Central Gulf tracks anchors the residential and commercial growth of Eastwood and Haughton. This era captures the region's mid-1970s development, where suburban expansion like the Eastwood Fairways Country Club sits adjacent to traditional rural landmarks such as Pease Chapel, Sunlight Ch, and Zion Hill Ch. The mapping of local infrastructure is dense, including the Platt Sch, numerous radio towers, and the sprawling Hillcrest Memorial Park Cem near Red Chute. Drainage patterns are defined by the winding paths of Fifi Bayou and Musselshell Bayou as they move through the lowlands east of Bossier City.
