About this map

The Houston River and its various tributaries, including Buxton Cr and Cowards Gully, define the low-lying landscape of Calcasieu Parish just north of the city limits. This survey captures the transition from the denser residential planning of Sulphur and the locality of Brimstone into the more open, creek-fed terrain to the northwest. The presence of Richards Lake and various drainage features indicates the characteristic wetland geography of southwestern Louisiana.

Transportation corridors like the Edgerly Dequincy Rd and Big Rock Rd provide a framework for the rural homesteads scattered throughout the township and range divisions. The map reveals the intricate local road network on the edge of the city, from W Houston River Rd to family-named paths like Stegal Rd and Marcantel Rd, which are vital for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of the parish outside the urban core.
