About this map

Sulphur and the surrounding Calcasieu Parish landscape are defined by a complex network of coastal bayous and drainage gullies in this recent survey. To the north, the historic settlement of Brimstone and the community of Stegall sit near the winding course of Bayou d'Inde. The map details the transition from the organized street grids of the city, including W Napoleon St and W Elizabeth St, to the more dispersed rural landscape of Pine Island.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several key landmarks, including Edgerly Cem in the northwest and Roselawn Cem to the east. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the region's managed water systems, such as Drew Canal and Spring Gully, alongside the aviation facilities at Southland Field. The intricate parceling of townships, like t9s r10w, reveals how modern property lines have been superimposed over the natural flow of Bayou Choupique and its tributaries.
