About this map

The northwest Louisiana landscape of Caddo Parish is dominated here by the sprawling waters of Caddo Lake and a complex network of wetlands. In the early 21st century, the area remains defined by its industrial roots, with the southern reaches featuring Oil City and Caddo, while the central portion includes the Ward 2 Industrial Park. The settlement of Superior sits just north of the Shoreline community, illustrating the long-standing human presence along the lake's edge.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including New Hope Cem, Black Bayou Cem, and Hancock Cem near Brent. The map also traces the winding courses of Black Bayou and Cocklebur Bayou, alongside local landmarks such as Thackers Airport and Mt Gilead. This survey provides a precise look at the transition from the organized street grids of Vivian to the low-lying marshes and bayous that define this corner of the state.
