About this map

Mooringsport and Oil City serve as the primary hubs in this northwest Louisiana landscape, which is defined by the complex hydrology of the Red River and Caddo Lake. The terrain is deeply marked by a network of waterways including Twelvemile Bayou and the Soda Lake Bed, alongside human engineering like the Shiftail Canal and Trinity Canal. Transport by water and rail was still vital during the 1940s, evidenced by the Albany Ferry and the Kansas City Southern railroad line crossing through the hills.
