1954 Map of Burr Ferry

About this map

Burr Ferry sits at the western edge of this mid-century survey, a settlement defined by its proximity to the Texas border and the winding waters of Pearl Creek. The landscape is heavily marked by a dismantled railroad that snakes through the central and southern portions of the quadrangle, indicating a past reliant on timber or rail-based transport that had already transitioned by the 1950s. To the east, the sprawling waters of Anacoco Lake and Anacoco Bayou dominate the drainage pattern, fed by numerous tributaries such as Redbank Creek and Wolf Creek.
