1967 Map of Sulphur North

About this map

Sulphur and its immediate northern landscape are captured here in the late 1960s, showing a transition from the structured street grid of the town to the rolling hills of the Fitzhugh and Leeper regions. The southern edge of the map highlights the proximity of Platt National Park to the urban center, where a Power Plant and the Sulphur Airport serve the local community. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of several community landmarks, including Washington Sch, Cameron Sch, and the Oaklawn Cemetery. The St Louis San Francisco railroad and numerous water features like Rock Creek and Tall Crest Lake illustrate the local topography and industrial infrastructure. To the north, the smaller settlement of Oak Grove stands near the headwaters of Hogskin Creek, while several Gravel Pits indicate active extraction operations during this era.
