About this map

The meandering Red River defines this landscape south of Shreveport, where the 1941 topography illustrates the complex relationship between the waterway and the surrounding parishes. Dramatic river dynamics are evident in features like Shreves Cut-Off 1838, Sunflower Point, and several oxbow formations such as Sunny Point Lake and Muddy Lake. This river-driven economy is supported by a robust rail network, including the Kansas City Southern and the Texas and Pacific Railway which cut through the lowlands.
