2015 Map of Lake Arthur

About this map

Lake Arthur serves as the focal point of this southwestern Louisiana landscape, where the waters meet the winding Mermentau River and Mitchell Bayou. The town of Lake Arthur is laid out in a clear grid along the northern shore, featuring streets like Grand Ave and State St that lead toward the waterfront. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation highlights the complex parish boundaries of the region, where Jefferson Davis Parish, Vermilion Parish, and Cameron Parish converge amidst a network of drainage canals and pastures. To the northeast, Andress Cove and the Andress Cove Cem mark local family-named landmarks. The terrain is defined by named points and coastal grazing lands, such as Gaithes Point, Laurents Point, and Rivillons Pasture, illustrating the deep connection between the local economy and the marshy geography of the Mermentau basin.
