1998 Map of Sulphur

About this map

Sulphur sits at the northern edge of this landscape, where the transition from industrial activity to coastal prairie is marked by a complex network of man-made and natural waterways. The presence of Brimstone and various oil extraction sites speaks to the region's long-standing reliance on mineral wealth, while the residential expansion toward Carlyss and the presence of Frasch Park indicate a maturing community. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, with Choupique Bayou, Spring Gully, and the Drew Canal cutting through the low-lying plains. Significant infrastructure includes the Sabine Canal and extensive levee systems designed to manage water across this flat coastal interior. For local history, the Roseland Cem and the small settlement at Stegall provide specific points of reference for tracing family lineages and early development patterns in Calcasieu Parish.
