USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The Calcasieu River loops around the northern industrial and residential heart of Lake Charles, showing the city at a moment of significant mid-century expansion. This post-war period is marked by the presence of the Lake Charles Air Force Base to the east and the growth of McNeese State College to the south. The urban core is densely packed with community institutions, from St Charles Academy and Washington College to neighborhood hubs like Goosport and Greinwich Village.
