2024 Map of Lake Arthur

About this map

Lake Arthur serves as the focal point for this coastal Louisiana landscape, where the Mermentau River flows into the lake at the convergence of Jefferson Davis, Vermilion, and Cameron Parishes. The settlement of Lake Arthur is laid out on a traditional grid, featuring street names like Arthur Ave and Louisiana Ave, while the surrounding marshlands and prairies are defined by drainage infrastructure like the Thornwell Drainage Canal. This area reflects a long-standing reliance on the water, with the landscape segmented into named grazing lands such as Rivillons Pasture and Laurents Pasture.
