1955 Map of Sulphur

About this map

Sulphur emerges as a busy industrial and residential hub in this mid-century survey, with its urban core and essential services like the Po and City Hall centered near the Southern Pacific rail line. Revisions from 1967 highlight the city's outward growth, while the surrounding landscape remains defined by its natural watercourse and early extraction efforts. To the south, the village of Carlyss sits near the crossing of Sabine Canal and Bayou Choupique, where several Oil Wells indicate the petroleum industry's footprint on the Calcasieu Parish terrain.
