About this map

The Red River meanders sharply across the landscape between Caddo Parish and Bossier Parish in this 1932 field examination. This era of the river's history is defined by its active crossings and the remnants of its former channels, captured here by the Missionary Ferry and Miller Bluff Ferry which still provided vital transport across the water. The floodplain is dotted with "Old Bed" oxbow lakes such as Old Bed Simpson Lake and Old Bed Posten Lake, signaling the river's historical shifts. Scattered rural settlements and social centers provide significant genealogical interest, including the Colquitt Ch and several schools like Gavett Sch and Eagle Hill Sch. Near the southern edge, the town of Hosston sits adjacent to Hosston Lake, while the Arkansas-Louisiana boundary line marks the northern limit of this survey.
