1915 Map of Burkburnett

About this map

Burkburnett stands as a established townsite just south of the Red River border during this mid-1910s survey. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the river, which separates Texas and Oklahoma, and the meandering path of Gilbert Creek through the southern half of the quadrangle. As the region transitioned into a more settled agricultural and industrial era, transportation networks like the Wichita Falls and Northwestern railroad and the Wichita Falls Road became vital connectors for local commerce and travel.
