1952 Map of Lake Charles
USGS Topo · Published 1952About this map
Lake Charles anchors this mid-century landscape, a hub of industrial growth and natural preserve at the intersection of Southwest Louisiana’s coastal wetlands and timberlands. The post-war economy is evident in the dense concentration of oil and gas infrastructure, from the Sulphur Mines Oil Field to the Bancroft Oil and Gas Field, reflecting the era's rapid petrochemical expansion. This development exists alongside vast protected areas like the Lacassine Migratory Waterfowl Refuge and the southern reaches of the Kisatchie National Forest.
