About this map

Holmwood sits at the northern edge of this coastal prairie landscape, a small settlement defined by the passage of the Southern Pacific railroad in the years before the mid-century expansion. The terrain is a network of drainage and irrigation infrastructure essential to the local rice economy, evidenced by the presence of the Sweet Lake Pump Sta and the North Canal. Crossing the boundary between Calcasieu Parish and Cameron Parish, the map reveals a transition from organized township sections to the marshy fringes of the south. Educational life in this rural district centers on the Sweet Lake Sch, located along State Highway No 42. This 1932 field examination captures the region as it relied on a burgeoning system of state roads, including State Highway No 98 and State Highway No 93, to connect isolated farmsteads with rail markets.
