USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Barksdale Air Force Base and the extensive Louisiana Ordnance Plant anchor the mid-century landscape of northern Louisiana, reflecting the region's significant military and industrial presence. The map documents an area defined by the winding course of the Red River and the Ouachita River, alongside an economy heavily driven by energy extraction. Numerous designated zones like the Caddo Oil Field, Monroe Gas Field, and Rodessa Oil and Gas Field reveal the subsurface wealth that shaped local development from Vivian to Monroe.
