About this map

Texarkana straddles the state line at the turn of the 21st century, revealing a dense urban core shaped by its unique dual-state geography. The map emphasizes the city's role as a regional institutional hub, featuring prominent landmarks like the Federal Correctional Institution to the south and the St Louis Southwestern Railway Hospital near the rail yards. The transportation network is dominated by a complex web of tracks and major thoroughfares such as New Boston Road and Summerhill Road, which facilitate movement between the Texas and Arkansas sides of the city.

Beyond the city center, the landscape transitions into industrial and educational zones, including the Texarkana Junior College campus and various specialized facilities like the Brick Kilns. Residential expansion is evident toward Nash and Eylau, while the northern reaches maintain recreation areas around Bringle Lake and the Golf Course. Numerous legacy sites such as the Iron Mountain Tabernacle and Hillcrest Cemetery provide essential reference points for local history and genealogy.
