About this map

Wichita Falls expands eastward across the plains where the winding Wichita River meets a complex network of agricultural irrigation channels. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the dense grid of the city, including the Wichita County Courthouse, and the industrial-scale aviation infrastructure at Sheppard Air Force Base/Wichita Falls Municipal Airport. To the east, the terrain opens into ranching and farmland near the settlement of Dean, marked by family-named landmarks like Seventy-Seven Ranch Lake and Parker Estate Lake.

Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the N Side Canal, W P Lateral, and W J Lateral which snake through the northern fields. Genealogists will find local history preserved at the Wichita County Cem and the small Kempner Cem further east. The map also traces the Wichita Co Clay Co boundary, illustrating how the regional geometry was established relative to the river's path and local land grants.
