About this map

The marshy lowlands of southwest Louisiana define this landscape, where the Calcasieu River winds through a complex network of bayous and lakes. In this mid-century survey, the Intracoastal Waterway cuts a straight path through the wetlands, intersecting the older drainage patterns of Bayou Choupique and the Old Canal. Local transport of the era is evidenced by the Ellender Ferry and the presence of specialized landings like Dumb Landing and Calcasieu Landing, which served as vital connections for isolated communities and maritime industry.
