1975 Map of North Highlands

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

North Highlands and the northern reaches of Shreveport dominate this mid-1970s orthophotograph, providing a rare visual perspective on the urban-rural interface during a period of significant growth. The map captures the distinct topography formed by the winding Red River and the sprawling waters of Cross Lake, illustrating how the natural hydrology shaped the development of Louisiana's Caddo Parish. The intricate drainage of Twelvemile Bayou weaves through the landscape, revealing the complex floodplain patterns that guided residential and industrial expansion. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this orthophoto sheet uses actual aerial imagery to show the physical density of the forest, the exact footprint of suburban neighborhoods, and the network of roads and rail corridors as they existed just before the late 20th-century boom.
