2020 Map of Wallace Lake

About this map

Shreveport’s southern expansion meets the winding wetlands of the Red River valley in this detailed 2020 study of the Caddo and De Soto Parish border. The landscape is defined by the expansive Wallace Lake, which dominates the central terrain alongside numerous waterways like Bayou Pierre, Kelly Bayou, and Gandy Bayou. This modern survey documents a mix of suburban residential growth in the north and the persistence of rural heritage to the south, where small communities like Norton, Stonewall, and Naylor remain key focal points. Local history and genealogy researchers can find several distinct burial grounds and places of worship, including Bethel Church Cemetery, Good Hope Church Cemetery, and the White-Lattier Cemetery. The map also captures local aviation history through Naylor Airport and Ellerbe Field, illustrating how the region's transport and infrastructure have adapted to the low-lying bayou country.
