1919 Map of Fowlkes

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The winding Wichita River and its dense network of tributaries anchor this 1916 survey of Wichita County. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the river lowlands and the upland drainage systems of Wolf Creek and Deep Creek. In the northern portion of the sheet, the Fort Worth and Denver City Road corridor facilitates transit through the settlement of Fowlkes, running parallel to the Electra rail line. This transportation artery contrasts with the more isolated southern sections, where local life centered around the Rocky Point School and the river. A notable industrial marker is the Pumping Station situated along the riverbank, indicating early water management and infrastructure developments in the region. The map also detail various hollows and forks, such as Bolivar Hollow and South Fork Buffalo Creek, providing a clear view of the topographical grain that influenced early Texas ranching and settlement patterns.
