1964 Map of Detroit
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The Texas and Pacific railroad corridor anchors the landscape of this 1964 survey, connecting the rural communities of Detroit and Blossom along the southern edge of the quadrangle. Straddling the boundary between Lamar and Red River counties, the map reveals a predominantly agricultural region defined by a network of creeks like Cuthand Creek and Little Pine Creek that drain toward Denwiddie Bayou. Small, dispersed settlements such as Walnut Ridge and Post Oak characterize the northern sections, which are notably rich in family and community burial grounds, including Egypt Cemetery, Red Oak Cemetery, and Holt Cemetery. The presence of several roadside parks and the Athletic Field in Detroit suggests a settled, social landscape during the mid-1960s, while the intricate system of farm-to-market roads provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure before modern expansions.
