1956 Map of Lake Wichita

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The southern residential expansion of Wichita Falls meets the northern reaches of the Hull-Silk oil field in this mid-century survey. Dominating the central landscape is Lake Wichita, bordered by the sprawling grounds of the Wichita Falls State Hospitals and the developing campus of Midwestern University. The infrastructure of the era is clearly visible through the Fort Worth and Denver (Burlington) railroad lines and the extensive network of oil wells and pipelines that define the local economy.
