2015 Map of Lake Charles SW

About this map

Prairieland occupies the upper reaches of this coastal prairie landscape, where the transition between Calcasieu Parish and Cameron Parish is defined by a grid of rural roads and drainage coulees. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Lake Charles Regional Airport, while the southern half transitions into the low-lying wetlands and waterways characteristic of south Louisiana. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the southwest, serving as a vital industrial artery. Between the South Fork Black Bayou and Black Bayou, the land is marked by agricultural roads and modest developments like Plateau Petit Bois. For genealogists, the Hebert Cem located near Gulf Hwy provides a specific point of interest for tracing local families in this part of the parish.
