About this map

Lake Texoma and the Red River define this 1950s landscape where the borders of Cooke, Grayson, Marshall, and Love counties meet. The shoreline is punctuated by local landmarks like the Oklahoma University Biological Station and the Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge at the Big Mineral Arm. Inland, the settlement of Gordonville serves as a central point for the surrounding rural communities of Dexter, Sandusky, and Locust.

Resource extraction is evident throughout the southern portion of the map, particularly within the Sadler-Moulder-Mineral Oil Field where numerous Oil Wells are noted. Local genealogy is well-supported by the inclusion of family and community sites such as Shay Cem, Bacon Cem, and Mt Zion Church. This survey captures the region after the formation of the reservoir but before modern shoreline development, preserving the original positions of creek branches like Sycamore Creek and Walnut Creek.
