1984 Map of Lake Arthur
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Lake Arthur serves as the focal point of this southwestern Louisiana landscape, where the town of the same name overlooks the wide waters at the confluence with the Mermentau River. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of canals, flumes, and ditches that support the region's agricultural and drainage needs. Significant landmarks like Gaithes Point and Laurents Point frame the lake's eastern reach, while The Narrows constricts the waterway to the west. This 1980s survey illustrates a rural economy reliant on water management and transportation, featuring several pumping stations and the Landing Strip south of the main settlement. Civil engineering and land use are further marked by a Sewage Disp facility and a local Cem, providing granular details for those tracing local development or family history near the Jefferson Davis and Vermilion Parish lines.
