Lake Charles
Lake Charles, located on a level plain about 30 miles (48 km) from the Gulf of Mexico, has an elevation around 13 feet (4.0 meters) above sea level, and is located on the banks of the Calcasieu River in southwestern Louisiana. It borders both Lake Charles and Prien Lake. Contraband Bayou, Henderson Bayou, and English Bayou flow through the city. Oak and pine trees dot the landscape; the lumber industry was once the main economic engine of the area. The Calcasieu Ship Channel, which allows large, ocean-going vessels to sail up from the gulf, also borders the city. The 2010 census recorded Lake Charles' total land size was 48.6 sq mi . According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 44.8 square miles (116.0 km2), of which 2.7 square miles (7.1 km2), or 6.12%, is covered by water.
