About this map

Industrial and maritime development dominates the landscape near Westlake in this early 21st-century survey. The winding Calcasieu River serves as a central artery for the region, connecting a complex network of waterways including the Rose Bluff Cutoff and Bayou Verdine. Large-scale infrastructure is evident through the Sulphur Wastewater Treatment Facility, the Haymark Terminal, and the Lockport Oil and Gas Field, highlighting the area's role in Louisiana's petrochemical and shipping economy.

Beyond the industrial zones, residential pockets such as Maplewood, Hollywood, and Mossville are interspersed with significant local landmarks. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, including Roseland Cem and Farquar Cem, while the presence of Vincent Landing and Nalmar Landing speaks to the historical importance of river access. The area's transportation hub is further defined by the KCS railroad lines and the proximity of Southland Field Airport.
