About this map

The Caddo-Pine Island Oil and Gas Field dominates the southern landscape of this Caddo Parish region, where the energy industry has long shaped the local economy and land use. Near the edge of Caddo Lake, the terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the Old Channel Black Bayou, Swift Bayou Canal, and Halfway Slough. This modern survey illustrates the persistent importance of rural hubs like Vivian, Superior, and Pine Island, while documenting numerous family and community landmarks.

Several cemeteries, such as New Hope Cem and Black Bayou Cem, are scattered throughout the quadrangle, serving as vital points for genealogical research. The map also features smaller settlements like Brent and Mail Boxes, alongside the Thackers Airport and the Mount Gilead church. The density of service roads and rural routes like Arkansas Pump Station Rd reflects the industrial activity inherent to the bayou country.
