The map
Shreveport stands on the west bank of the Red River in north-western Louisiana. From above, the downtown grid lies alongside a wide bend in the river. Across the water is Bossier City, linked to Shreveport by several bridges. Interstates cross the city in both directions, and residential areas spread out west and south, gradually giving way to pine woods and bayous.
The city was founded in the 1830s after the removal of the Great Raft, a huge log jam that had blocked the Red River for miles. Shreveport then became a river port, and later a centre of the oil and gas industry. Cross Lake, a large reservoir to the west, forms a big body of water right next to the city. The Louisiana Hayride radio show once broadcast from here and gave Elvis Presley early exposure.
A Shreveport map poster shows how the river holds the whole picture together. The winding Red River runs through the middle, the downtown grid sits on its bank and the bridges connect it to the other side. Cross Lake fills the western edge with a broad shape. In black and white, the curved river and the straight grid make a strong, clear composition.

A large reservoir west of the city with a wooded, indented shoreline. It adds a broad area of calm water to the print.
Several bridges cross the Red River between the two cities. On the map they are thin lines across the water.
