1959 Map of Calvary

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Lake Fork Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of Wood County in this 1959 study, which was updated in 1981 to show the planned pool of the reservoir inundating the valleys of Lake Fork Creek and Little Caney Creek. This intersection of industrial history and civil engineering reveals an area in transition. In the western portion, the Alba Oil Field and scattered Old Mining Areas sit near an Old Railroad Grade, marking the region's extraction-based economy. To the south and east, the rural character remains centered around small community hubs such as Alba and Calvary. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous country churches and burial grounds, including Enon Ch, Pleasant Ridge Ch, and the Searcy Cem, providing a clear record of family settlements before the expansion of the reservoir altered the terrain.
