About this map

The St Louis - San Francisco railroad corridor anchors this mid-century portrait of Marshall County, where the growing street grid of Madill meets the surrounding agricultural landscape. The town center is densely detailed with municipal landmarks, including the local Courthouse, Post Office, and schools such as Will Rogers Sch and the Jr High Sch. To the northwest, the smaller settlement of Oakland sits near the shores of City Lake, while the unincorporated community of Glasses borders Glasses Creek.

Tracing the topography reveals a transition from these early civic centers toward the more sparsely settled regions of Taliaferro and Willis. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by several Quarry sites, Gravel Pits, and a prominent Radio Tower (KXII-TV) to the south. Genealogists will find three distinct burial grounds—the Oakland-Madill Cem, Woodberry Forest Cem, and Madill Cem—providing a clear record of local family history near the turn-of-the-century Old Railroad Grade.
