USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The Red River corridor defines the western edge of this mid-century survey, anchoring a landscape where major military installations and industrial energy fields intersect. To the east of Shreveport, Barksdale Air Force Base and the Louisiana Ordnance Plant represent a significant federal footprint in the region. The map captures North Louisiana during a period of intense resource extraction, evidenced by the expansive Monroe Gas Field and numerous oil developments like the Rodessa Oil Field and Haynesville Oil Field.
