About this map

The settlement of Hackberry occupies the northern edge of this coastal landscape, situated where the marshy terrain meets the deep-water Calcasieu Ship Channel. This industrial artery cuts through the center of the sheet, separating the town from the expanse of Calcasieu Lake. The map details a complex hydrologic network of natural features like Long Point Bayou and Long Point Lake alongside man-made infrastructure such as the West Cove Canal and Sweet Lake Canal. These waterways serve as the lifeblood for both local navigation and the petrochemical industry that has long defined Cameron Parish.

Along the shoreline, distinct landforms like Billy Goat Ridge, Jubert Point, and Commissary Point emerge from the low-lying wetlands. The residential and commercial streets of the town, including W Main St and Old Town Rd, reflect the community's layout near the water's edge. This 2015 survey provides a clear look at the intersection of maritime transport and coastal habitation in southwestern Louisiana.
