1964 Map of Tira

About this map

The South Sulphur River and its numerous tributaries, including Post Oak Creek, Brushy Creek, and Little Caney Creek, dominate this rural landscape in north Texas during the mid-1960s. The terrain is a network of small upland communities and family landmarks, with Tira and Birthright serving as local hubs. The proximity of New Birthright to the original Birthright settlement reflects shifts in local development and population centers during this era. Educational and spiritual life is anchored by the North Hopkins Sch and several remote burial grounds like the Aiguier Cem and Rushing Cem. The presence of a significant Pipeline cutting through the countryside near Addran indicates the growing infrastructure supporting the region's energy sector. This survey captures the county's agricultural character just before later reservoir projects altered the river's path and the surrounding floodplains.
