1919 Map of Fowlkes

USGS Topo · Published 1919

About this map

Wichita River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, its banks defined by sharp relief and numerous tributary drainages such as Whiskey Creek and Bolivar Hollow. Surveyed in the years following the region's early oil discoveries, the map reveals a rural infrastructure centered on the Fort Worth and Denver City railroad, which cuts through the northern plains near Fowlkes. This rail corridor provided the primary connection for the area's agricultural and burgeoning industrial interests, including a riverside Pumping Station. Local civic life is anchored by the Rocky Point School, situated on a ridge overlooking the river valley. The topography is characterized by a dense network of seasonal creek beds, including Wolf Creek and South Fork Buffalo Creek, which illustrate the complex erosion patterns of the North Texas plains before widespread modern development altered the drainage and road networks.
