1954 Map of Leary

About this map

The Red River Arsenal dominates the western half of this Bowie County landscape, defined by its extensive network of structures and the prominent Arsenal Boundary. This mid-century survey captures a region in transition, where established rural communities like Leary and Redlick sit alongside the industrial and military infrastructure required by the era. The presence of numerous inactive gravel pits and a Strip Mine along the St Louis Southwestern railroad indicates the local importance of resource extraction.
