About this map

The eastern edges of Marietta and the surrounding Red River Valley landscape are defined by the Lake Texoma shoreline and the industrial infrastructure of the late 1960s. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad runs north-south along the western edge of the map, serving as a primary transportation artery for this corner of Love County. The area’s economic character is visible through the Refinery, a Gas Plant, and numerous gravel pits, indicating an active mid-century resource extraction and processing economy.

Prominent landmarks such as Flattop Peak and Peak Hill rise above the drainage basins of Hickory Creek and Corcoran Creek. Local genealogy and community history are anchored by the Love Cem and Lakeview Cemetery, while recreational and social spaces like the Rodeo Ground and Athletic Field reflect the town's civic life near the High Sch. The extensive Lake Texoma basin, including the northern Hickory area, shows regions subject to controlled inundation, marking the transformation of the landscape following the river's damming.
