1950 Map of Oak Grove

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Texas and Pacific rails cut a direct path through the heart of Bowie County, anchoring small settlements like Oak Grove and Garland during the mid-twentieth century. This rural landscape is defined by its social infrastructure, featuring numerous country churches and educational sites such as Gravel Hill Ch, Sun Grove Ch, and the Mt Pleasant Sch. The western edge of the survey follows the boundary between Red River Co and Bowie Co, where the terrain is drained by a network of local waterways including Mill Creek, Tanyard Creek, and Mud Creek. To the east, the outskirts of De Kalb begin to emerge, supported by the De Kalb Cem. The area retains a traditional East Texas settlement pattern, where small communities formed around a school, a church, and the railroad line.
