1954 Map of Lake Texarkana

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Lake Texarkana dominates this mid-1950s landscape, its jagged shoreline and rising waters reflecting a period of significant hydraulic engineering along the Sulphur River. The impoundment reached a normal pool elevation of 225 feet by the time of this field check, creating new landforms like Bells Island while submerging the lowlands of Bowie and Cass counties. The newly constructed Texarkana Dam and the adjacent Water Intake Tower stand as central monuments to the region's mid-century development.
