The West Fork Calcasieu River and Houston River dominate this low-lying landscape in Calcasieu Parish, where intricate waterways and cypress-lined basins create a complex drainage network north of Sulphur. The settlement patterns here follow the higher ground between the river forks, notably at Buhler and the northern residential reaches of Westlake. This modern 2020 record of the terrain highlights how the natural bayous, such as Antioch Bayou and Bayou Verdine, interface with industrial modifications like the Krause and Managan Canal.
