1994 Map of Lake Arthur
USGS Topo · Published 1996About this map
The town of Lake Arthur sits at the northern bend of its namesake lake, where the Mermentau River empties into the basin. This mid-1990s survey illustrates a landscape deeply shaped by water management and resource extraction, with a grid of canals including the Keystone Ditch and Klondike Canal draining the surrounding lowlands. The importance of the waterway is evident in the transition from the open waters of Lake Arthur through the Narrows, framed by landforms such as Gaithes Point and Laurents Point. Beyond the residential areas and the localized Mobile Home Park, the map records the industrial footprint of the region through numerous pumping stations and an extensive network of pipelines. These features, alongside the Thornwell corridor, highlight the intersection of coastal marsh geography and the technical infrastructure required for the area's agricultural and energy sectors.
