1959 Map of Shreveport East
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
Shreveport and Bossier City are divided by the winding course of the Red River in this 1959 survey, which captures the post-war expansion of residential neighborhoods and institutional infrastructure. The map details a dense network of educational and religious sites, from the campus of Centenary College to local landmarks like Byrd High Sch and Broadmoor Jr High Sch. To the east, the vast installation of Barksdale Air Force Base dominates the landscape, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle transition into the fertile alluvial plains of the river valley. Here, the Red River Valley Agricultural Station and family-named landmarks like Mary Goula Ch and Ellerbe Ch suggest a more rural, agrarian character. The intricate hydrology of the area is well-defined, featuring numerous oxbows and islands such as Sunny Point Lake and Shreve Island, alongside the industrial presence of the Kansas City Southern and Texas and Pacific railroads.
