About this map

Shreveport expands westward toward the waters of Cross Lake in this detailed 1980 survey, showcasing a landscape transitioning from dense urban residential blocks to large-scale municipal and industrial infrastructure. The western edge of the city is defined by the Shreveport Regional Airport and the sprawling Forest Park West Cemetery, while the northern shoreline of the lake is punctuated by landmarks like Buzzard Island and the Municipal Pier. This era of the city's development is marked by a high density of educational and religious institutions, including Huntington High School and Life Tabernacle, serving the growing suburban reaches.
