About this map

The intersection of the Louisiana & Arkansas RR and the Louisiana Arkansas & Texas RR anchors the landscape around Daingerfield, providing a glimpse into the industrial and social heart of Morris County during the mid-1960s. The map captures a transition from the wooded ridges of the Black Mountains to the lowlands of Black Cypress Creek and Kelly Creek. To the south, Daingerfield State Park surrounds a central reservoir, while the outskirts of town reveal active resource extraction through scattered gravel pits, a Strip Mine, and the Black Mountain Mine.

Genealogists will find a dense concentration of rural community centers, including family and church cemeteries such as Whitmore Cem, Barber Cem, and Day Cem. Small crossroads like Rocky Branch and the western edge of Hughes Springs are documented alongside local institutions like Bradfield Ch and Bethlehem Ch. This survey provides a precise record of the schools serving the area, including West Side Sch, South Side Sch, and the central High Sch.
