About this map

The Sulphur River and its complex network of tributaries define the landscape of this Northeast Texas quadrangle in the early 1960s. The northern reaches show the South Sulphur River winding through its Old Channel, while the Shell Oil Field marks a significant industrial footprint in the center of the sheet. Small agricultural communities and rural junctions like Eureka and Hagansport serve as local hubs, connected by a web of light-duty roads and pipelines that cut through the timbered creek bottoms.

Genealogists can find important family landmarks including the Fairview Ch, Keith Cem, and Colliers Chapel Cem. The map illustrates the hydrological patterns of the area, from the larger White Oak Creek in the south to smaller drainages like Wolfpen Creek and Big Creek. The boundary lines for Delta, Hopkins, Franklin, and Red River counties all converge here, making it a critical reference for researchers tracking early 1960s property locations across county lines.
