1966 Map of Tyler North

About this map

Tyler State Park and the expanding northern reaches of Tyler define this landscape during a period of significant mid-century growth. The map illustrates a transitional environment where agricultural research at the State Agricultural Experiment Station meets the industrial footprints of the Missouri Pacific and St Louis Southwestern railroads. These rail lines, alongside a network of creeks like Little Saline Creek and Black Fork Creek, shaped the settlement patterns of outlying communities such as Swan and Pine Springs.
