About this map

The extraction of natural resources defines this landscape in Calcasieu Parish during the mid-20th century. The Sulphur Oil Field and the Edgerly Oil Field are prominent features, signaling the region's industrial foundation alongside the settlement of Brimstone. These fields are situated in a lowland environment dominated by the Houston River and the man-made Houston River Canal, which cuts through the terrain to manage water flow in this swampy coastal plain.
