1955 Map of Lake Charles SW
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
South Lake Charles Gas Field and the Sweet Lake Oil Field define the mid-century industrial footprint south of the city, where extraction infrastructure sits amidst a complex network of coastal bayous and drainage channels. The landscape transitions from the higher Plateau Petit Bois down toward the marshy expanse of Big Lake at the southern edge. This 1950s survey captures a rural community organized around small landmarks like St Elizabeth Ch and Prairieland Sch, with the parish line between Calcasieu and Cameron cutting through the lower half of the quadrangle.
