1964 Map of Clarksville

About this map

Clarksville serves as the focal point of this Red River County landscape, showing the town's mid-century footprint centered on the Courthouse and the local County Hospital. The area's educational and historical legacy is prominent, marked by the McKenzie College Historical Monument and various local institutions like the Cheatham Sch and New Century Stadium. The Texas and Pacific railroad cuts across the northern landscape, anchoring the local economy and connecting the county seat to outlying settlements like Mabry and Peters Prairie. Beyond the town limits, the terrain is defined by a dense network of family-named landmarks and watercourses such as Claphand Creek and Cuthand Creek. Numerous rural burial grounds, including McKenzie Cem and Harris Chapel Cem, are documented alongside country churches, reflecting the deep-rooted genealogical history of these Northeast Texas communities before more modern development altered the rural character.
