1965 Map of Boxelder

About this map

The Sulphur River carves a meandering southern boundary for this portion of Red River County, where the landscape transitions from the river bottomlands to the elevations of Stockbridge Knoll and Pigpen Knoll. At the center of the local community, Boxelder and the nearby Salem Ch serve as focal points for the rural population during the mid-1960s. The northern reaches are defined by a complex network of tributaries including Cuthand Creek, Kickapoo Creek, and White Oak Creek, while Evergreen Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing area families. The southern portion of the map reveals the industrial footprint of the era, notably the Trix-Liz Oil Field and various isolated oil and flowing wells. Water features like Turner Lake and Little Grass Lake dot the wetlands near the Red River and Titus County line, showing the natural hydrology before extensive modern alterations.
