1986 Map of Marshall

About this map

Lake O' the Pines and the extensive marshlands of Caddo Lake dominate this East Texas landscape, reflecting a region defined by its water resources and industrial development in the mid-1980s. The map illustrates a complex network of energy and military infrastructure, most notably the Rodessa Oil Field and the sprawling Longhorn Army Ammunition Plant near the Louisiana border. These industrial sites are juxtaposed with numerous named peaks such as White Oak Mountain and Howell Mountain, which rise above the river bottoms of Big Cypress Bayou and the Sabine River.
