About this map

The city of Sulphur sits at the northeastern corner of this Calcasieu Parish survey, where residential street grids like W Napoleon St and W Lincoln St meet the edges of industrial and marshy landscapes. The geography is defined by a network of waterways including Bayou d'Inde and Bayou Choupique, which drain the low-lying prairie toward the south. Historically significant labels like Brimstone and Stegall reflect the area’s deep connection to the sulfur mining industry that once dominated the region's economy.

Away from the urban center, the landscape shifts toward the open spaces of Pine Island and the aeronautical facilities at Southland Field. A quiet site for genealogical interest is Roseland Cem, located just east of the main town area. The transition from established residential blocks to the wetlands of Spring Gully and Wing Gully illustrates the delicate balance between coastal development and the natural Louisiana drainage system.
