1951 Map of Homan

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Red River dominates this mid-century landscape, carving deep oxbows and leave-behind lakes across the Miller County river bottom. The river's winding path creates a complex network of wetlands and sloughs, including Cut-off Lake, Old River Lake, and Horseshoe Lake, which mark the former channels of the migrating waterway. Human activity is concentrated along the higher ground and the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor, where the settlement of Homan serves as a local hub. Rural life is anchored by community landmarks such as Lone Star Ch, Swan Lake Ch, and the Paup Cem. A sophisticated system of levees and drainage projects like Gillespie Ditch reveal the 1950s efforts to manage the flood-prone fertile lands between McKinney Bayou and the main river channel.
