1955 Map of Lake Charles
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
McNeese State College and the expanding residential corridors of south Lake Charles define this mid-century period of growth in Calcasieu Parish. The map reveals a city transitioning through post-war development, with extensive photorevisions from 1967 showing the rapid outward spread of neighborhoods like University Place and Greinwich Village. Industrial and military footprints are prominent, anchored by the massive Chennault Air Force Base and the maritime infrastructure along the Calcasieu River.
