There is not much of the old Sulphur Springs Community left. The Camps were scattered in several directions all within 3/4 of a mile of the cemetary. Surpriseingly both of the main camp sites at White Sulphurs Springs are intact and in private ownership, but they are in danger of probable future developement. There were several smaller camps scatter about of cavalry, only one of which has been located. It is owned by a Church. All of the public building were burned during the Yankee occupation and many of the private building and homes, which were used as headquarters, or Hospitals and warehouses. Many buildings and homes have been rebuilt on these same sites over the years.

The Camps at Fort Pleasent like Camp Day of the Missouri Brigade are safe. But they are on Federal Property inside the Pine Bluff Arsenal.

Fort Pleasent itself, what is left after the 1908 and 1927 floods, is in private ownerships and they are aware of the history and protective of that. But wish to keep it private. There are some of the rear earthworks and some of the outlying rifle pits remaining.

Camp Wright for all practical purposes is gone with the expansion of the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. The old plantation house was torn down about 25 years ago. The family cemetery is all that remains of Camp Wright and the Wright Plantation.

Camp Mills is gone in the City of Pine Bluff. Actually the site was used for several Camps including one of the Contriband Camps mentioned in the O.R.'s as being destroyed during the Battle of Pine Bluff. Most of that site was actually washed away in the 1908 flood and is now in Lake Pine Bluff. It was also used as the city garbage dump in the 1940's and 1950's.

Fort Douglas is gone plowed under as farm land.

We know of another Camp in White Hall, Ar. but we have not been able to identify whose camp that was. Whether it was a Confederate Camp or a Union Camp located beside the Pine Bluff to Little Rock Road. It was most likely a common place to overnight camp troops coming from Little Rock, before entering Pine Bluff.

As far as size, the largers camps, such as Camp Lee, Holmes, Wright, Day, and Mills, which were all at least Brigade size, were at least 20 to 40 acres apiece depending on how the camps were layed out. Fort Pleasent was 300 yards square according to descriptions left in a diary, I have no idea how large the earthworks at Fort Douglas were.

The thing about all this is, is that the local relic hunters knew where each of these camps were, and had found relic at them consistant with the history that we've uncovered. But they did not know what the importance of those relics were. Hence much of that historical evidence has been lost.
