The West Fork Calcasieu River and its many tributaries, including Little River, Beckwith Creek, and Indian Bayou, dominate this low-lying landscape north of the industrial corridor. The settlement of Buhler stands at a crossroads of Buhler Station Rd and Bankens Rd, while the southern portion of the map shows the suburban expansion of Sulphur and Westlake. This 2015 survey reveals how modern drainage and infrastructure, such as the Krause and Managan Canal and the KML Airport, have integrated with the natural wetlands of Bayou Verdine. Local history is preserved in sites like the Royer Cem and Perkins Cem, while the grid of roads such as High Hope Rd and W Houston River Rd illustrates the residential growth occurring between the river systems.
