1963 Map of Sulphur South

About this map

Platt National Park anchors the northern boundary of this topographic record, showcasing the developed landscape around Sulphur during the early 1960s. The map highlights significant public works and institutional landmarks, including the State Veterans Hospital and Veterans Lake. To the south, the terrain transitions into the rural townships of Lowrance and Morgan, where the economy appears tied to the land through numerous features like the Fish Hatchery and several gravel pits. Small communities and family history sites are well-preserved here, specifically the settlement at Drake and the Central Church. Water is a defining element of the local geography, with Buckhorn Creek, Mill Creek, and Lowrance Springs carving through the countryside. Genealogists will find particular value in the clearly marked burial grounds, such as Buckhorn Cemetery and Fletcher Cemetery, which serve as quiet markers of the area's early residents.
