2011 Map of Sulphur City

About this map

Sulphur City and the surrounding rural landscape of Washington County are defined by a network of ridges and hollows that shape the local drainage into the Middle Fork White River. This topography creates a distinct settlement pattern where clusters of homes and small communities like Black Oak and Hicks are positioned near significant water sources such as Trace Creek and Parker Branch. The map reveals a deeply rooted local history through its numerous burial grounds, including Salem Cemetery, Kings Cemetery, and Zion Cemetery, which are scattered among family-named terrain features like George West Hollow and Richardson Hollow. These landforms and small-scale settlements demonstrate how the residents have utilized the natural geography, with Tatum Spring and Greasy Creek serving as vital landmarks in this upland environment southeast of Fayetteville.
