1959 Map of Starks
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The Sabine River forms a complex boundary between Louisiana and Texas, creating a dense network of oxbows and backwaters such as Horseshoe Lake, Mims Lake, and the wetland maze of Devils Pocket. In this late 1950s landscape, the town of Starks serves as a local hub along the Kansas City Southern railroad, which cuts a straight path southwest through the heart of the terrain. The presence of the Starks Oil Field and scattered gas wells indicates the region's industrial ties to petroleum extraction, while a Lookout Tower and a series of levees point to the ongoing management of this low-lying, water-dominated environment.
