1975 Map of Shreveport East

About this map

Red River oxbows and sediment deposits dominate this mid-1970s orthophotograph, providing a clear photographic look at the hydrological patterns between Shreveport and Bossier City. To the west, the dense urban and residential layout of Shreveport spreads toward the riverbank, while the northeastern portion of the sheet is occupied by the expansive runways and infrastructure of Barksdale Air Force Base. The aerial perspective reveals the complexity of the river's channel, showing numerous sandbars and former meanders that contrast with the organized grid of the neighboring cities. This visual record captures the mid-century expansion of these twin cities as they navigated the constraints and opportunities of the Louisiana floodplain.
