1955 Map of Black Lake

About this map

Industrial expansion and marshland drainage define the landscape of the mid-1950s near the boundary of Calcasieu Parish and Cameron Parish. The dominance of the energy sector is evident in the sprawling West Hackberry Oil Field and the Chourique Oil and Gas Field, marked by numerous oil wells and oil tanks. Infrastructure for heavy industry intersects with the natural hydrology of the region, where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts a straight path through the wetlands.
