1962 Map of Ola

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Ola and Rand anchor this rural Kaufman County landscape, captured in a period of transition as water management infrastructure began to reshape the terrain. The presence of Dam No 76 and Dam No 77a alongside the newly formed Lake Kaufman illustrates the mid-century effort to control local watersheds like Little Cottonwood Creek and Cottonwood Creek. These developments contrast with the long-established social fabric of the area, represented by numerous country churches and burial grounds such as Morrow Chapel Cem, Red Oak Ch, and Ayers Chapel. To the south, the community of Becker sits near the winding banks of Walnut Creek, while industry is evident in the Gravel Pit and various Sandpits located near the northern boundary. The map effectively documents the intersection of traditional Texas farm life with modern engineering projects designed to manage the state's hydraulic resources.
