1954 Map of Lake Texarkana

About this map

Lake Texarkana dominates this landscape, its waters controlled by the substantial Texarkana Dam and flowing into the Sulphur River. The map captures a moment of transition for the region, with purple photorevisions from 1970 showing significant new road infrastructure marked as Under Construction along the Bowie and Cass county lines. At the time of the original survey, the St Louis Southwestern Railroad Grade remained a prominent topographical feature near Redwater, while local landmarks like Opossum Trot Church and Holloway Cem anchor the rural community life of the mid-20th century.
