About this map

The Calcasieu River winds through this coastal marshland, serving as a primary corridor for the industrial and recreational life of Calcasieu Parish in the mid-1950s. The presence of the Port of Lake Charles and the Lake Charles Ship Canal underscores the area's importance to maritime trade, while the northern rail lines of the Southern Pacific No 90 and Kansas City Southern connect the settlements of Sulphur, Mossville, and West Lake.
