2018 Map of Sulphur North

About this map

The town of Sulphur anchors the southern portion of this landscape, where the grid of city streets meets the natural springs and creeks of the Chickasaw National Recreation Area. These water sources, including Antelope Spring and Buffalo Spring, feed into Travertine Creek, a system that defined the area's development as a regional destination. North of the town center, the terrain is characterized by a network of rural roads such as Dolberg Road and Caldwell Road, interspersed with smaller watercourses like Cochran Creek and Guy Sandy Creek. This rural-to-urban transition is marked by numerous family and community burial sites, including the Shirley Family Cemetery and Dolberg Baptist Cemetery, which provide valuable touchstones for genealogical research. The presence of the Sulphur Municipal Airport and the path of the Chickasaw Turnpike illustrate the modern transportation infrastructure overlaying this corner of Murray County.
