About this map

Shreveport and Bossier City are defined by the winding course of the Red River, which carves a complex geography of points and islands through the center of this 2020 survey. Modern infrastructure like the E Bert Kouns Industrial Loop and Clyde Fant Pkwy connects established neighborhoods to newer developments and the sprawling Louisiana State University - Shreveport campus. The river's historical shifts are evident in features like Shreves Cutoff and Bagley Island, alongside recreational trails such as the Orchard Trail Blue.

Genealogists will find significant records at Saint John Berchmans Cathedral Cem and the Good Hope Church Cem, while the eastern portion of the map is dominated by the strategic expanse of Barksdale Air Force Base. The landscape transitions from the urban density of Cedar Grove to the more open terrain around Lucas and Forbing, where old rail lines like the Union Pacific RR still navigate the alluvial plain.
