1982 Map of Kinston South

About this map

The waters of Lake Texoma dominate this 1982 landscape, where the Red River defines the border between Oklahoma and Texas. The infrastructure of the era is represented by the Burlington Northern railroad and the Roosevelt Memorial Bridge crossing the northern reaches of the lake. Local heritage is preserved through numerous family and community sites, including Isom Springs Cem, Hainline Cem, and Preston Bend Cem on the Preston Peninsula. The map details the transition from traditional agriculture and early industry, seen in the western Oil Field, to a growing recreational economy focused around Lake Texoma State Park, Catfish Bay, and several public use areas. Smaller settlements like Woodville, McBride, and Preston anchor the rural landscape away from the town of Kingston.
