2012 Map of Hecker

About this map

The Calcasieu River and its meandering tributaries, including Bayou Serpent and Bayou Arceneaux, define the landscape of this Calcasieu Parish region. Near the small settlement of Hecker, the terrain features several oxbows and islands like Stackpole Island and Point Fing. The era's industrial and agricultural footprint is evident through the massive Louisiana Irrigation Canal and Jones Canal, which cut straight lines across the native drainage patterns. Further south, the Iowa Oil and Gas Field indicates the sub-surface resources that shaped the local economy. Genealogists can trace local family lineages through roads like Charles Breaux Rd and Lebleu Ln, alongside burial sites such as Herbert Cem and La France Cem. The settlement of Le Bleu serves as a local hub near the southern boundary, surrounded by a dense grid of residential and parish roads.
