1947 Map of Moss Bluff
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
The Calcasieu River meanders through this portion of Calcasieu Parish, creating a complex network of waterways including English Bayou, Moss Bay, and Old Town Bay. This survey captures the northern outskirts of Lake Charles at a time when the region relied heavily on river crossings, documented by the presence of Southerland Ferry, Perkins Ferry, and Goss Ferry. These river-transit points served small settlements like Ararat, Newton, and Belfield along the U.S. Highway No 171 Pacific Southern corridor.
