About this map

The Red River defines the geography of this mid-2010s survey, winding between Shreveport and Bossier City while creating a complex network of meander scars and points. This riparian landscape is shaped by features like Shreves Cutoff, Sunflower Point, and Wright Island, reflecting a river that has historically shifted its course. Educational and military institutional footprints are prominent, including the sprawling grounds of Barksdale Air Force Base on the eastern bank and campuses like Centenary Coll of Louisiana and Louisiana State Univ - Shreveport to the west.

Developing residential and industrial corridors push south of the city centers, noted by neighborhoods like River Oaks and Golden Meadows. The modern transportation network is well-established, with the E Bert Kouns Industrial Loop Expy and Clyde Fant Memorial Pkwy facilitating transit through former bottomlands. More quiet, rural character remains in the south, where Tones Bayou and Sunny Point Lake represent the original hydrology of the Red River valley.
