1957 Map of Wichita Falls West

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Wichita Falls expands westward during the mid-fifties, anchored by the significant presence of Sheppard Air Force Base and the institutional campus of Midwestern Univ. The map documents a transition from the urban grid to a landscape defined by water management and resource extraction, with the expansive Lake Wichita and Lake Iowa Park providing critical reservoirs. Industrial activity is prominent along the Fort Worth and Denver railroad line, where the Daume Oil Field and Holliday Oil Field highlight the region's reliance on petroleum production.
