About this map

Hackberry serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the industry of Oil Wells meets the preservation efforts of the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge. The landscape is dominated by the Calcasieu Ship Channel, a massive waterway cutting through the marshlands and bordering the wide expanse of Calcasieu Lake. The town itself is compactly organized, featuring community anchors like St Peters Ch and the local High Sch.

South of the settlement, the terrain transitions into a complex of water and land, including Long Point Lake and Long Point Bayou. Small canals such as No 1 Canal and No 2 Canal crisscross the eastern shoreline of the lake, illustrating the extensive dredging required for navigation and drainage in this low-lying parish. Public recreational use is noted at the Public Access point, indicating the importance of the lake to the local economy and lifestyle in the early 1980s.
