1955 Map of Sweet Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The Sweet Lake Oil Field and the surrounding marshlands of Cameron Parish reveal a landscape defined by industrial development and coastal settlement patterns in the mid-1950s. Much of the central terrain is occupied by the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge, where a labyrinth of waterways like Grand Bayou and Cross Bayou crisscross the wetlands. Human habitation follows the higher ground of the cheniers, notably along Oak Grove Ridge and Front Ridge, where community life centers on Creole and Oak Grove.
