1994 Map of Hecker
USGS Topo · Published 1996About this map
The Calcasieu River meanders through the wetlands of southwestern Louisiana, defining a landscape of bayous and complex drainage patterns between Hecker and Le Bleu. This mid-1990s revision reveals a region where traditional riverine life meets industrial development, particularly within the Iowa Oil and Gas Field in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Significant water features like Stackpole Island and Bayou Serpent illustrate the low-lying terrain, while the Louisiana Irrigation Canal and various sludge pits mark the human modification of the parish line area. Genealogists may find interest in the proximity of family-named landmarks such as Hebert Cem and La France Cem, which persist alongside the shifting waterways and agricultural infrastructure of Calcasieu and Jefferson Davis Parishes.
