About this map

Hecker and Le Bleu anchor this landscape of meandering watercourses along the boundary of Calcasieu and Jefferson Davis Parishes. The Calcasieu River winds through the western half of the map, creating distinct terrain features such as Stackpole Island and Point Fing. The intricate drainage network is further defined by Bayou Serpent, Bayou Arceneaux, and Kinner Gully, illustrating the low-lying, hydrologically complex nature of this coastal prairie region.

Genealogists and local historians will find family and community history preserved in sites like Herbert Cem and La France Cem. The road network, including names like Old Hecker Rd, Amos Fruge Rd, and Rue Renard Rouge Rd, reveals a settlement pattern influenced by both early land grants and the parish boundary lines. The southern portion of the map shows agricultural and industrial development indicated by the Jones Canal.
