1964 Map of Cuthand

About this map

Cuthand sits at the center of this 1964 survey, an area defined by the meandering waters along the Red River Co Titus Co line. The landscape is heavily influenced by the drainage of the Sulphur River and its numerous oxbow formations, including Horseshoe Lake, Elbow Lake, and Brushy Lake. The map reveals the industrial footprint of the era through the Trix-Liz Oil Field and scattered oil wells in the southern bottoms near Timber Lake. Local transit and social history are anchored by an Old RR Grade cutting through the southwest corner and landmarks like McKinzie Ch and a local Cem. The map documents a complex network of waterways, from the primary channel of the Sulphur River to smaller tributaries such as Whiteoak Creek and Maple Creek, which together shaped the settlement patterns and agricultural layout of this Northeast Texas region.
