About this map

Sulphur and the western outskirts of Lake Charles dominate this 2015 study of Calcasieu Parish's industrial and residential corridors. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Calcasieu River and its numerous branches, including Bayou d'Inde and the Maple Fork. The map documents a complex network of waterways and modern infrastructure, where established neighborhoods like Maplewood and Hollywood sit adjacent to heavy industrial sites near Rose Bluff.

Family history is preserved through several localized burial grounds, including the Mimosa-Pines Cem and the Farquhar Cem. The map illustrates the region's transition from the river-dependent commerce of Vincent Landing to the dense suburban development characterizing the Prien area. Large water bodies such as Prien Lake and Moss Lake remain central features, surrounded by a maturing grid of local roads and major transportation arteries.
