1955 Map of Moss Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
The Calcasieu Ship Channel dominates this coastal Louisiana landscape, cutting a deep-water path through the marshes of Calcasieu Parish and Cameron Parish. At the southern edge, the settlement of Hackberry serves as a hub for the sprawling Hackberry Oil Field, where numerous well pads and access roads mark the industrial footprint on the wetlands. The confluence of the Calcasieu River, Moss Lake, and the Intracoastal Waterway illustrates a complex mid-century transport network designed for both petroleum extraction and regional maritime commerce. Smaller local landmarks such as Christian Ch and several family burial grounds, including Benoit Cem and Dutch Cove Cem, provide essential points of reference for genealogists tracing the established communities that persisted alongside the rising energy industry. The geography is further defined by tidal features like Choupique Island and the transition into the broad waters of Calcasieu Lake.
