About this map

The industrialized landscape of Calcasieu Parish is detailed in this 1990s revision, showing the transition from the historic mining center at Brimstone to the growing residential and commercial corridors of Sulphur. The map documents a complex network of water management and drainage infrastructure, defined by the winding course of Bayou Choupique and the prominent Sabine Canal that cuts through the southwestern terrain. Local community life is anchored by locations such as Frasch Park and the Roseland Cem near the town center.

Industrial and aviation footprints are visible at Southland Field and the outlying settlement of Carlyss. These developments reflect the mid-century expansion of the region's petrochemical and agricultural sectors. Smaller named locales like Stegall and geographic features like Pine Island offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family ties to the areas surrounding the Interstate 20 corridor.
