1946 Map of Lake Arthur
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
Lake Arthur sits at the heart of this post-war landscape, where the water's edge and the surrounding marshlands of the Mermentau River dictated the development of the region. The map reveals a community defined by its proximity to the water, with prominent landmarks such as Gaithes Point and Laurents Point flanking The Narrows. Transportation and drainage were clearly the lifeblood of the area, evidenced by the Southern Pacific railroad line and an intricate network of waterways including the Klondike Canal and Thornwell Drainage Canal.
