About this map

Shreveport and Bossier City anchor this mid-1980s landscape, where the Red River meanders through a complex network of bayous and reservoirs. The regional economy is defined by heavy industry and military infrastructure, most notably the sprawling Barksdale Air Force Base in the south and the Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant to the east. Transportation corridors such as the Kansas City Southern RR and St Louis Southwestern RR connect legacy oil-field towns like Oil City and Mooringsport near the waters of Caddo Lake. Significant conservation and recreational tracts are visible, including the Bodcau State Wildlife Management Area following its namesake bayou and portions of the Kisatchie National Forest. From the northern border at Rodessa down to Cross Lake, the map documents the dense transition from rural parishes to a developing urban riverfront.
