1972 Map of Wichita Falls East

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Sheppard Air Force Base dominates the northern landscape, while the sprawling rail infrastructure of Wichita Falls defines the southern half of this 1970s study. The convergence of the Fort Worth and Denver RR, Missouri-Kansas-Texas RR, and Wichita Valley RR highlights the city's importance as a regional transportation hub. The Wichita River snakes through the center of the sheet, bordered by numerous gravel pits and public spaces like Williams Park and Spudder Park. Educational and civic development is evidenced by the presence of Booker T Washington Jr HS, Lamar Sch, and the County Farm. To the east, the terrain opens into rural landscape marked by the Kempner Cem and the small settlement of Raymond, offering a view of the transition from industrial city to North Texas ranch land.
