1955 Map of Greenwood
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
Shreveport expands westward into the piney woods and bayous of western Caddo Parish in this mid-century survey, revised with late-1960s urban data. The landscape is defined by the massive Cross Lake to the north and the sprawling Wallace Lake to the southeast, with the Texas and Pacific and Kansas City Southern railroads anchoring the commercial corridor through Greenwood and Keithville. This era reveals a transition from rural agricultural clusters to a modern transportation hub, evidenced by the development of the Greater Shreveport Municipal Airport. Local history is preserved through dozens of country schoolhouses and churches like Galilee Ch and White Hall Sch. Notable institutions of the day are also documented, including the Caddo Parish Penal Farm and The Pines Sanatorium, alongside numerous family burial grounds such as Page Cem and Pollard Cem.
