1962 Map of Potters Point

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Caddo Lake and its intricate network of bayous and sloughs dominate this landscape along the Texas-Louisiana border in the early 1960s. The settlement of Uncertain and the prominent Potters Point overlook a complex aquatic geography defined by features like Whangdoodle Pass, Alligator Bayou, and Ames Spring Basin. The southern portion of the map reveals the industrial footprint of the Longhorn Ordnance Works, while the surrounding woodlands are dotted with rural landmarks including Elizabeth Ch, Blocker Ch, and a local Cemeterey. This survey captures the transition of the lake from a natural cypress wilderness to a managed waterway, evidenced by the Government Ditch and numerous oil wells. Genealogists can trace old family landing sites and crossings like Swansons Landing and Millers Pt, which remain tied to the river-and-rail history of Harrison and Marion counties.
