2012 Map of Stonewall

About this map

Stonewall and Keithville anchor this part of DeSoto and Caddo Parishes, showing the transition from rural land to residential development south of Shreveport. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Boggy Bayou, Buchanan Bayou, and Cypress Bayou, which historically dictated the placement of roads and early homesteads. Resource extraction is a primary feature of the southern portion of the map, dominated by the Caspiana Gas Field. Local landmarks like the Powell Cem offer specific points of interest for genealogists, while aviation history is represented by small private strips including Old Hickory Ranch Airport and Bluebird Hill Airport. The settlement at Staples and the newer developments at Wildwood South illustrate the area's growth patterns along the primary north-south corridors.
