1951 Map of Millerton

About this map

Millerton and Valliant anchor the northern edge of this Red River landscape, connected by the St Louis San Francisco railroad during the early 1950s. The region is defined by the complex hydrology of the Red River, where dramatic meanders like Horseshoe Bend and the Cut-off reveal a river in constant transition. Local life is documented through scattered landmarks of the rural community, including the Mt Zion Sch, Redland Sch, and Forest Hill Sch, along with churches such as Clear Creek Ch and Mt Zion. Further south, the terrain shifts into the Whitegrass Flats and numerous sloughs like McKinsey Slough and Salt Well Slough, illustrating the flood-prone nature of the border between Oklahoma and Texas. A State Bdy Reference Monument stands near the riverbank, marking the precise political divide amidst the shifting currents and bayous.
