1951 Map of Fulton

About this map

Fulton stands at a critical crossing where the Missouri Pacific railroad spans the Red River, a landscape defined by the shifting hydrology of oxbow lakes and sediment deposits. The map captures a complex river system featuring Adams Cut-off Lake and the aptly named Lost Prairie, illustrating how the river's meandering path has shaped local boundaries between Hempstead, Miller, and Little River Counties. To the north, Old Allens Ferry and Sprudel mark earlier centers of activity along the water.
