USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
Industrial energy infrastructure and marshy wetlands define this mid-century landscape at the boundary of Calcasieu Parish and Cameron Parish. Large extraction operations are evident at the West Hackberry Oil Field and the Chopique Oil and Gas Field, indicating the economic importance of the region's petroleum resources during the 1950s. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts a straight path through the terrain, passing landmarks like Gardiner Slip and numerous survey markers.
