1955 Map of Lake Charles SE

About this map

The settlement of Holmwood sits at the northern edge of this coastal prairie landscape, where the Southern Pacific railroad line cuts across the terrain. This mid-century survey illustrates the intricate water management required in the lowlands of Calcasieu Parish and Cameron Parish, dominated by features such as the Government Ditch, Indian Bayou Levee, and the North Canal. These man-made alterations to the landscape speak to the agricultural and industrial efforts to tame the wetlands south of Lake Charles.
