1957 Map of Wade

About this map

The Red River carves a winding path along the Oklahoma Texas border in this mid-century survey, defining the landscape between Bryan Co and Fannin Co. The transition from the upland prairies of Bokchito and Bennington down to the bottomlands reveals a series of oxbow features and riverine landmarks like Popes Point and Sowells Bluff. The map preserves the traces of a rural educational network that was already beginning to fade, noting the Beames Sch (Abandoned) and Manning Sch (Abandoned) alongside the active Bray-Maxwell Sch.
