About this map

Camp Maxey Military Reservation dominates the landscape south of the Red River, reflecting the significant military presence in Lamar County during the mid-20th century. The intricate meanders of the river define the border between Oklahoma and Texas, creating distinctive features like Pitts Bend and Allen Island. The map records a dense network of rural infrastructure, including numerous family-named schools and churches such as Hills Chapel School and Cold Springs Church, which served the dispersed farming communities of the era.
