About this map

Sulphur serves as the focal point of this late 1960s topographic study, with its grid of streets concentrated north of the Platt National Park boundary. The area's hydrology is remarkably detailed, featuring numerous named drainages like Hogskin Creek and Guy Sandy Creek alongside engineering landmarks such as the Power Plant, Waterworks, and the Sulphur Airport. Evidence of the region's mid-century rural infrastructure is visible through the St Louis-San Francisco rail line and several localized Gravel Pits.

Genealogists will find value in the placement of Oaklawn Cemetery, Palmer Cem, and several school sites, including Cameron Sch and Washington Sch. The landscape is a mix of agricultural plots and dense woodland, particularly along the creek beds that feed into Lacy Lake and Tull Crest Lake. The inclusion of the Drive-in Theater and the Flowing Well north of town provides a specific look at the social and geological character of this Murray County landscape before modern development altered the local footprint.
