1982 Map of Pottsboro

About this map

Lake Texoma dominates the northern landscape of this region, its waters creating a complex shoreline that defines the Preston Peninsula and various island chains. The map documents a period of significant recreational and residential development along the Little Mineral Arm, evidenced by numerous boat ramps, public use areas, and the Tanglewood Airfield. To the south, the terrain transitions into a more agricultural and industrial landscape, where the town of Pottsboro serves as a hub near the Missouri - Kansas - Texas Railroad. Local history is preserved in the location of the Willow Springs Ch and several small cemeteries, such as Hagerman Cem. The presence of an Old Iron Ore Grade and multiple quarries suggests a history of resource extraction, while the Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge marks the conservation of the marshy areas near Mill Creek.
