Spring Ridge and Preston anchor this Caddo Parish landscape, characterized by a complex network of waterways and numerous family and community burial sites. The terrain is defined by the winding courses of Boggy Bayou, Cypress Bayou, and Buchanan Bayou, which drain the wooded and residential areas south of Shreveport. Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of rural cemeteries across the landscape, including New Hill Cem, Davidson Cem, Pollard Cem, and the prominent Northwest Louisiana Veterans Cem located near Caddo Dr. The map illustrates a modern rural-suburban interface where established landmarks like the CDC Landfill sit alongside residential developments and older parish roads. This survey provides a precise accounting of the region's cultural and natural geography in the late 2010s.
