About this map

Industrial developments and traditional settlements meet along the winding waters of the Calcasieu River in this mid-1990s revision of 1950s surveys. The landscape is dominated by the massive infrastructure of the Oil Refinery and the East Moss Lake Oil and Gas Field, illustrating the region's heavy reliance on the petroleum industry and maritime transport via the Calcasieu Ship Channel.

Residential patterns are clearly defined in established communities like Maplewood, Hollywood, and the settlement of Mossville, while rural burial sites such as Farquerar Cem and Marais Cem provide essential data for genealogical research. The complex hydrology of the area is mapped in detail, showing how Little Bayou d'Inde and Bayou Verdine interact with the larger bodies of Lake Charles and Prien Lake. Points of historical interest like Vincent Landing and Lockmoor sit alongside newer features such as a local Golf Course, reflecting the evolving land use in Calcasieu Parish.
