About this map

Shreveport is depicted here in a phase of expansive urban and suburban growth, where the residential grids of neighborhoods like Werner Park meet the large industrial and transport corridors of the Caddo Parish landscape. The western reach of the city is defined by the massive footprint of the Shreveport Regional Airport and the complex web of the Kansas City Southern RR and Union Pacific RR. This era of development is marked by a dense concentration of memorial sites and community landmarks, from the Hebrew Rest Cem and Saint Joseph Cem in the north to the Centuries Memorial Park further south.

Water features such as Cross Lake and its various inlets, including Gar Pocket and Cottons Pocket, provide a natural boundary to the northwest. The map captures the transition from dense city blocks to outlying settlements like Summer Grove, La Rosen, and Reisor, where bayous like Gilmer Bayou and Brush Bayou still trace their natural courses through the developing terrain. Educational and professional hubs like Ayers Career College and the Remington College - Shreveport Campus underscore the area's role as a regional center of activity.
