1958 Map of Denison Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Lake Texoma and the Red River valley dominate this late-1950s landscape, illustrating the profound topographical changes following the completion of the Denison Dam. The map captures a transitional era for the border region, where the reservoir has reshaped the local geography, inundating old river bottoms and creating new landmarks like Washita Point and Preston Point. To the south, the city of Denison serves as a major hub, marked by a dense network of the Missouri Kansas and Texas and St Louis and San Francisco railroads. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous rural markers, including the Willow Springs Ch and several family burial grounds like the Yarborough Cem. The presence of the Som Springs Oil Field and the Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge reflects the diverse industrial and conservation uses of the land during this period.
