About this map

The Sabine National Wildlife Refuge dominates this coastal Louisiana landscape, where the transition from marsh to open water is defined by an intricate network of man-made and natural waterways. Much of the northern terrain is occupied by the West Hackberry Oil Field and the West Hackberry Strategic Petroleum Reserve, reflecting the critical energy infrastructure of the early 1980s. Navigation and drainage are facilitated by features like the Starks North Canal and the Hycade Canal, which cut through a landscape of named high ground including Vincent Island and Back Ridge. Small residential pockets and public works are visible near Herbert and China, while community life is anchored by the Hackberry High Sch and the Hackberry Recreation Area. These elements illustrate the cohabitation of heavy industrial utility with a delicate estuarine environment near the Calcasieu Lake West Cove.
