2012 Map of Brimstone

About this map

The Houston River and the Houston River Canal define the low-lying drainage of this Calcasieu Parish landscape. The area is heavily marked by the legacy of early 20th-century extraction, with the Edgerly Oil Field and Sulphur Oil Field anchoring the southern corners of the map. These industrial sites sit within a grid of family-named roads and rural infrastructure, including Marcantel Settlement Rd and Luther Marcantel Rd, which reflect the ancestral holdings of the Marcantel family. The interior remains dominated by watercourses like Buxton Cr and Cowards Gully, while significant transit corridors such as the Edgerly Dequincy Rd and Rte-66 suggest a landscape designed for moving resources and reaching remote homesteads like those along Richard's Pond Rd and Payton's Place Rd.
