Stonewall and Keithville anchor this 2018 survey of the north Louisiana landscape where the Caddo Parish and De Soto Parish border meets. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways including Cypress Bayou, Buchanan Bayou, and Brush Bayou, which drain the low-lying areas between small settlements. This modern topography reveals the persistence of rural infrastructure, from the Powell Cemetery near the center of the sheet to private aviation facilities like Old Hickory Ranch Airport and Bluebird Hill Airport. The map documents the residential expansion along roads such as Mansfield Rd and Linwood Ave, illustrating how contemporary development follows the historical transit corridors south of Shreveport. Small hamlets like Staples remain distinct points in a landscape increasingly characterized by suburban road networks and established parish boundaries.
