1955 Map of Moss Bluff
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The intricate waterways of the Calcasieu River dominate this mid-century landscape north of Lake Charles, revealing a complex network of bays such as Burnett Bay, Moss Bluff Bay, and Bird Island Bay. The settlement of Moss Bluff is shown at a pivotal moment of development, situated between the river's loops and the Pacific Southern railroad line. Local history is preserved in the location of several traditional river crossings, including Indian Bayou Ferry and Perkins Ferry, which reflect the area's historical reliance on water transport before modern bridge infrastructure became dominant.
