About this map

Wichita Falls expands across this North Texas landscape, where the Wichita River and its various tributaries define the local hydrology. The map reveals a sophisticated network of water management, including the N Side Canal, R R B Lateral, and C G Lateral, which support the agricultural and municipal needs of the region. This 2019 survey documents a mix of urban density and outlying rural communities such as Bacon and Pleasant Valley, providing a detailed look at the interface between the city and the surrounding prairie.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, ranging from the historic Riverside Cem and Sacred Heart Cem near the city center to the East Lawn Cem and Evart Cem in the northern reaches. The presence of Highland Memorial Gardens and the geographic prominence of Kob Hill offer clear landmarks for locating family heritage sites within the complex street grid of the city and its arterial roads like Old Iowa Park Rd and the Northwest Freeway.
