1956 Map of Emory

About this map

The Clear Fork Sabine River and Lake Fork Creek dominate this mid-century landscape in Rains County, captured just as the local infrastructure was poised for significant change. Most notably, the map identifies the Iron Bridge Damsite along the Sabine River, a marker of the upcoming creation of Lake Tawakoni. The rail-and-road network is anchored by the St Louis Southwestern railroad, which links the towns of Lone Oak, Point, and Emory.
