2020 Map of North Highlands

About this map

Shreveport expands northward along the banks of the Red River and the complex waterways of Twelvemile Bayou in this recent survey. The landscape is defined by the transition from dense urban infrastructure near the Caddo Parish Courthouse and Shreveport Downtown Airport to the established residential neighborhoods of Cooper Road, North Highlands, and Lakeview. Family history is deeply rooted across the quadrangle, evident in the numerous burial grounds ranging from the expansive Oakland Cem to the smaller Shows Family Cem and Walker Hill Cem further north. The northwestern corridor follows the Kansas City Southern rail line toward Blanchard, passing the elevated Albany Bluffs. The map also details the varied aquatic environments of Cross Lake, including several named inlets such as Ben Roberts Pocket and Hicks Pocket, providing a clear look at the intersection of municipal growth and the natural bayou system.
