1959 Map of Shreveport West
USGS Topo · Published 1969About this map
The western expansion of Shreveport is captured during a period of significant mid-century growth, as urban residential areas began to push into the rural landscapes of western Louisiana. The map detail highlights an extensive network of schools and civic institutions serving new neighborhoods like Jewella, Caddo Heights, and Summer Grove. This era of development is juxtaposed with the established industrial and transit infrastructure, including the Texas and Pacific and Kansas City Southern railroads. To the north, Cross Lake and Ford Park define the recreational edge of the city, while the Municipal Airport and the State Fairground reflect the city's role as a regional hub. Local history is deeply preserved in the many cemeteries like Hebrew Rest Cem and Star Cem, alongside numerous community churches that anchored these evolving suburban and industrial districts.
