2015 Map of Gloster

About this map

Stonewall and the small settlements of Gloster and Kickapoo anchor this portion of northern Louisiana, where the border between Caddo Parish and De Soto Parish is defined by a landscape of intricate bayous. The drainage patterns of Edwards Bayou, Sand Bayou, and Caney Bayou reveal a topography of gentle elevation changes, carved out by these seasonal watercourses. Local history is evident in named locations such as Trinity Cemetery and several family-named roads, including Jessie Lattin Road and Cash Butler Road. The map also captures modern recreational and organizational hubs like the Dixie Swim Club and Garland Scout Ranch, which speak to the area's development outside the traditional town centers. Tracing these local landmarks provides a clear view of how rural DeSoto Parish has organized around its waterways and transit corridors.
