1998 Map of Brimstone

About this map

The Edgerly Oil Field and Sulphur Oil Field anchor this industrial landscape of southwestern Louisiana, reflecting the region's deep ties to mineral extraction. In this territory north of the Gulf, the terrain is defined by the winding course of the Houston River and the engineered precision of the Houston River Canal. Industrial infrastructure is prominent, with numerous pipelines crisscrossing the marshy lowlands near Brimstone. The map also captures specialized transport features like a Landing Strip and a Landing Field, alongside water bodies such as Richards Lake and Edwards Gully. For those tracing local history, the De Quincy Lookout Tower stands as a notable landmark overlooking the intersection of natural waterways and 20th-century energy development.
