About this map

The Wichita River carves a winding path through this North Texas landscape, providing the natural backbone for the western development of Wichita Falls. By the early 21st century, the area shows a complex mix of urban expansion, energy production, and aviation. The industrial legacy of the region is evident in the West Oil Field and the settlement of Oildom, while the city's infrastructure is anchored by the City of Wichita Falls Lake Dam and the North Side Canal.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of several burial grounds, including Sacred Heart Cemetery and the Highland Memorial Gardens. Educational and military influences are represented by Midwestern University and the proximity of Sheppard Air Force Base. The map also preserves the names of smaller communities like Bacon and Pleasant Valley that define the outskirts of the primary metropolitan area.
