About this map

The Red River meanders through this landscape, defining a complex system of islands and points such as Shreves Island and Bagley Island. This 2012 survey captures the urban and suburban expansion of Shreveport eastward, where residential developments like Broadmoor Terrace and Spring Lake Estates meet the river's edge. The presence of the Louisiana State University Shreveport campus and the Broadmoor Golf Course indicates the area's role as a major educational and recreational hub for Caddo Parish.

Away from the central river corridor, the map reveals a transition into more rural and specialized land uses. The southeastern portion is marked by the Red River Cem and aviation sites like Scopena Plantation Airport. Smaller waterways, including Bayou Pierre and Tones Bayou, weave through communities such as Forbing and Lucas, illustrating how the region's hydrology has historically shaped settlement patterns and road networks like the E Bert Kouns Industrial Loop.
