2018 Map of Moss Bluff

About this map

The Calcasieu River system dominates this portion of Calcasieu Parish, where the northern reaches of Lake Charles meet the expanding communities of Moss Bluff and Westlake. This 2018 survey documents a landscape defined by intricate waterways, featuring numerous bays such as Alligator Bay, Burnett Bay, and Old Town Bay. The map provides significant genealogical value through its marking of local burial grounds, including Ritchie Cem, Goos Cem, and the Birdsnest Cem near Belfield. Commercial and transport hubs like the Chloe Airport and the industrial interface at Bridge Junction are clearly visible, illustrating the transition from the dense residential developments in Newton to the low-lying wetlands of Bear Island and Two O'Clock Point. The presence of the Goldsmith Canal and various gullies underscores the complex water management required in this coastal prairie and bayou region.
