1909 Map of Texarkana
USGS Topo · Published 1909About this map
Texarkana sits at the heart of a dense rail network during the first decade of the 1900s, where the Texas and Pacific RR, Kansas City Southern RR, and St Louis Southwestern RR converge. This survey documents the critical transportation and industrial landscape of the Texas-Arkansas borderlands before modern infrastructure bypassed the river and rail towns. To the south, the meandering Sulphur River dictates the pace of commerce with features like Stateline Ferry and Loop Landing. The rural interior is dotted with community centers such as White Chapel, Macedonia School, and Alamo Mills, while the presence of Moore's Sawmill and the Monz Log R R indicates the importance of the local timber industry. This sheet is a precise record of the region's transition into a major regional hub, preserving the names of small settlements like Eylan, Argo, and Draper.
