1955 Map of Shreveport East
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Shreveport and Bossier City anchor this mid-century landscape where urban expansion meets the shifting bends of the Red River. The map highlights a period of significant regional infrastructure, showing the massive footprint of Barksdale Air Force Base alongside established institutions like Centenary College. The river's meanders create a complex network of islands and points, including Anderson Island and Sunflower Point, where levees protect low-lying agricultural land and newer developments like Dixie Gardens. Transport corridors for the Kansas City Southern and Texas and Pacific railroads carve through the terrain, connecting the city core to outlying areas like Forbing and Lucas. The presence of numerous neighborhood schools such as Arthur Circle Sch and Thornhill Jr High Sch reflects the post-war growth of residential subdivisions south of the historic center.
