1952 Map of Doddridge

About this map

The Sulphur township area of southwest Arkansas and northern Louisiana is defined by the winding network of Kelly Bayou and its many tributaries, including Day Branch and Nance Creek. This 1952 survey, with revisions from 1975, documents a rural landscape transitioning through industrial shifts, notably featuring an Oil Refinery near the settlement of Ida. The community centers of Doddridge and Brightstar are anchors for the region, while smaller locales like Kiblah and Capps City dot the countryside. Religious and local history is preserved through markers for Oak Grove Ch, Evergreen Ch, and the Sulphur Fork Cem. Transportation history is etched into the terrain along the Old Railroad Grade, showing how former transit corridors shaped the development of Miller County and Caddo Parish across the state line.
