Location NW Louisiana
Large acorns…
Not a white oak IMO because of the bark and leaf, but bigger acorns then a standard “pin oak”.

Same. Always heard them called pin oaks. In my head I still think of them as pin oaks although I know they are water oaks.

Hence the quotation. Water oak is our most common where I hunt.

Shumard I agree

I’m used to a shimmed having deeper lobes on the leaves and more symmetrical than the photo shows. Either the photo is misleading or that’s a nuttall or a hybrid.
ETA: looked closer. It’s a shumard.

Shumard has the big leaves like Cherry bark oak etc but has the bark of a water oak.

It on the AC Steere Elementary school grounds in Shreveport. The school was built in 1929 making the school 93 years old. I'm assuming this was planted not too long after.

The champion Shumard is in E Feliciana. She big though. Don’t think over ever seen one in the woods, prob easily mistaken for cherry bark though.

I am confused now.
I have always referred to pin oaks and water oaks being two completely different things. But, I looked up the range map of pin oaks after seeing this thread and indeed, the range map for pin oaks does not go as far south as Louisiana, as y’all have described. I have always thought the below photos were them two.
Pin oak
Water oak
So what are these two called?

A willow oak is called “pin oak”, your pic the bottom is likely water oak top 
. There’s a few that look like a water oak too.
