About this map

Platt National Park and the southern outskirts of Sulphur anchor the northern edge of this 1963 survey, revealing a landscape defined by mineral springs and a growing state infrastructure. The map documents the State Veterans Hospital and Veterans Lake near the city center, while the rugged terrain to the south is marked by numerous natural resources including a Fish Hatchery and various Mines and gravel pits.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the rural sections, where the small settlement of Drake and family-named landmarks like Lowrance Springs appear. The area is dotted with historical burial grounds including Fletcher Cem, Buckhorn Cem, and Drake Cem, alongside the Central Ch, providing a clear record of the community's mid-century distribution before modern development altered these rural corridors.
