About this map

Red Chute Bayou meanders through this Bossier Parish landscape, defining a region where Bayou waterways and man-made impoundments like Barksdale's Mighty Deuce shape the local geography. The settlement of Sligo sits at the center of a network of rural routes, including Sligo Rd and Caplis Sligo Rd, which connect small communities like Palmetto, Taylortown, and Caplis.

Genealogists will find significant local history in the presence of several established burial sites, including Mayflower Cem, Oakland Cem, and Burns Cem near Haughton. The southern portion of the map is defined by the sharp curves of Red Chute Bayou and the Flat River, featuring distinctive landmarks like Buzzard Roost Bend and Old River Lake. This 2018 survey provides a clear view of how residential growth from Bossier City interfaces with the agricultural and riparian terrain of the Louisiana lowlands.
