1955 Map of Maud
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The town of Maud sits at the crossing of a light-duty road network and the St Louis Southwestern railroad, serving as a hub for the agricultural and timbered lands of southern Bowie County. This mid-century landscape is defined by the transformation of the Sulphur River valley following the creation of Wright Patman Lake, which has inundated much of the former bottomlands to form irregular shorelines and features like Mc Farland Island. To the northeast, the Red River Arsenal occupies a significant tract near Redwater, indicating the military's influence on local land use. Throughout the area, small community centers remain anchored by landmarks such as Friendship Ch and Oak Ridge Ch, alongside family-named sites like Harris Cem and Ridge Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogists tracing local families during this period of transition.
