2018 Map of Wallace Lake

About this map

Wallace Lake and the meandering course of Bayou Pierre anchor this southern periphery of Shreveport, where the suburban expansion of Caddo Parish meets the rural stretches of De Soto and Bossier Parishes. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, with Chico Bayou and Gandy Bayou threading through low-lying areas, while higher ground supports small settlements like Stonewall and Norton. The transition from industrial transport to recreation is evident, as modern road networks like Southern Trail Pkwy and Overton Brooks Rd contrast with the older rural routes. For local historians, the presence of Springfield Cem and Antioch Cem provides a grounded connection to the area's early residents. Aviation heritage is also represented by Naylor Airport and Ellerbe Field, marking the area's role in local transportation and commerce near the Red River.
