1954 Map of New Boston
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
The Bowie County Courthouse stands as a focal point south of New Boston, marking the geographic transition from the busy Texas and Pacific rail line to the rural settlements of Old Boston and Boston. This mid-century landscape is defined by its social infrastructure, featuring numerous country churches and cemeteries like Godley Prairie Ch and McWright Cem that reflect deep-rooted family ties in Bowie County. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling Red River Arsenal, while the southern reaches are shaped by the waters of Wright Patman Lake. Traces of earlier life appear in the placement of the Highway Sch and the Magnetic High Sch, highlighting the importance of local education during this era of post-war development in Northeast Texas.
