Moss Lake and the complex waterways of the Calcasieu River dominate this coastal Louisiana landscape south of Lake Charles. The map documents a highly engineered maritime environment where the massive Calcasieu Ship Channel and the Intracoastal Waterway intersect, facilitating industrial transport through the wetlands. This network of man-made cuts and natural bayous, including the Choupique Cutoff and Old Canal, surrounds Choupique Island and defines the boundary between Calcasieu and Cameron Parishes.
