1955 Map of Shreveport West

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The State Fairground and Greater Shreveport Airport anchor this mid-century view of Louisiana's growing western flank. The urban grid of Shreveport pushes toward the west and south, where developing neighborhoods like Caddo Heights and Hollywood meet older landmarks such as The Pines Sanatorium and Coleman College. The industrial and logistics infrastructure of the era is clearly defined by several Tank Farm sites and the convergence of the Texas and Pacific, Illinois Central, and Kansas City Southern railroads.
