1955 Map of Mooringsport

About this map

Shreveport and its northern surroundings are defined by the winding course of the Red River and an extensive network of waterways and industrial infrastructure. The landscape reveals the heavy footprint of the Shreveport Oil Field and the And Oil Field, where numerous wells and radio towers like Radio Tower (KWKH) stand alongside rural settlements. Notable cultural landmarks include the Sentell Plantation and a dense distribution of country schools and churches, such as Rosenwald Sch and Rose of Sharon Ch, which served the local farming and oil-working communities of the mid-1950s.
