2012 Map of Cameron Farms

About this map

Cameron Farms sits within a low-lying landscape defined by an extensive network of artificial waterways and natural bayous in Calcasieu Parish. The area’s industrial character is shaped by energy extraction, evidenced by the Black Bayou Oil Field and the Gum Cove Oil and Gas Field. Major transit corridors like the Choupique Cutoff and the Bancroft Canal slice through the wetlands, facilitating drainage and navigation across the Wild Prairie and Choupique Prairie. Elevated features such as Gum Cove Ridge provide distinct landmarks in this coastal terrain, while numerous small islands including Rabbit Island, Deer Island, and Bird Island dot the marshes. Local infrastructure like the Gum Cove Ferry and Old Ferry Rd highlights historical crossing points that connected these remote agricultural and industrial tracts before modern advancements.
