1956 Map of Buhler

About this map

Houston River and the West Fork Calcasieu River dominate this landscape in Calcasieu Parish, where the waterways define early settlement and transport patterns. The meandering river systems are flanked by landmarks of community life, including the Willow Spring Sch Cem and Mt Carmel Ch. The presence of the Kansas City Southern railroad line cutting through Buhler indicates the importance of rail logistics to the region's development during the mid-20th century. Industrial footprints are visible in the south near Westlake, where a Powerplant and various substations appear alongside the Krause and Managan Canal. To the east, the preservation of the landscape is marked by Sam Houston State Park, while the Indian Bayou Ferry provides a tangible link to river-crossing methods used before modern bridge infrastructure became ubiquitous in the parish.
