1996 Map of Westlake
USGS Topo · Published 1999About this map
The industrial and maritime landscape of Calcasieu Parish is dominated by the Calcasieu River and its complex system of navigable waterways. In this late 20th-century survey, the massive Port of Lake Charles and a sprawling Oil Refinery reflect the region's deep ties to the petrochemical industry and global shipping. Residential life is woven between these industrial zones in communities like Sulphur, Maplewood, and the historically significant Mossville. The map captures the engineered shift from natural bayous like Bayou d'Inde to the high-capacity Calcasieu Ship Channel. Family and local history can be traced through numerous established burial grounds, including the Farquarer Cem near Indian Marais and the Mimosa-Pines Cem to the south. Navigation aids and industrial landmarks like the Haymark Terminal and various tank farms underscore the vital role of Lake Charles and Prien Lake as hubs of trade and transit.
