1968 Map of Burneyville

About this map

Hickory Bayou and Walnut Bayou dominate the drainage patterns of this Love County landscape as it appeared in the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by the sharp, wandering loops of the Red River at the southern boundary, where significant geographic features like Warrens Bend and Tyas Bend mark the Indefinite Boundary between Oklahoma and Texas. This survey captures a rural network of small communities including Burneyville, Turner, and Eastman, with local infrastructure such as the Landing Field Burneyville and several dispersed Oil Wells illustrating the mid-century economy of the region.
