About this map

Belcher and Dixie anchor this 1930s landscape, which is defined by the sweeping, serpentine loops of the Red River as it forms the boundary between Caddo and Bossier parishes. The region's agricultural and social fabric is revealed through a network of rural landmarks, including the Rosenwald Sch and numerous country churches like St Paul Ch and Bethel Ch. Evidence of early 20th-century infrastructure is visible in the Texas and Pacific railroad line and the Magnolia Gas Company Pipe Line, which cut through the complex hydrology of bayous and oxbow lakes. Notable water features such as Irish or Oven Lake and the Moon Lake Bed suggest a changing shoreline where former river bends have transitioned into backwater sloughs and dry beds, while the Briarfield Ferry provides a vital river crossing point before the widespread construction of modern bridges.
