About this map

The Calcasieu River defines the industrial and maritime landscape of this Calcasieu Parish region, winding southward toward Moss Lake and Prien Lake. In the late 1940s, the Lake Charles Ship Canal bisects the terrain, illustrating the critical role of waterborne commerce as it connects to the Port of Lake Charles. This waterway-centric development is balanced by the presence of the Kansas City Southern railroad and U S Highway No 90 to the north, which serve the growing communities of Sulphur and West Lake.
