2015 Map of F-R Ranch

About this map

Five Lakes dominates this coastal landscape in Cameron Parish, illustrating the complex hydrology of southwestern Louisiana's marshlands. The area is defined by a dense network of water management features, including the Starks-North-Canal and the Starks Central Canal, which reflect the region's historical reliance on man-made waterways for drainage and access. The namesake F-R Ranch stands as a notable point of human activity within this environment, situated north of the expansive marsh. Other prominent water bodies like Vincent Lake and Dore Lake punctuate the terrain, while the Beach Canal and Back Ridge Canal indicate the structured approach taken to navigate and utilize these wetlands. This survey provides a clear view of the land-water interface and the infrastructure required to maintain coastal ranching and transit in the early 21st century.
