1968 Map of Horseshoe Bend

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Red River carves a dramatic, winding path along the border of Texas and Oklahoma in the late 1960s, defining a landscape shaped by petroleum extraction and riverine agriculture. Within the large meander of Walnut Bend, a dense concentration of oil wells and a refinery underscore the region's industrial importance, supported by a network of unimproved roads and a pumping station near Hickory Creek. Local life centers around small landmarks like the Walnut Bend Sch and Hibbit Ch, while the northern portion of the map shows the influence of water management with portions of Lake Texoma subject to controlled inundation. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad skirts the northwestern corner, providing a vital transport link for Loves Valley and the surrounding borderlands near Decherds Camp.
