About This Historic Map

Drawn from an elevated bird's-eye perspective, this map presents Wichita Falls in the 1890s, when the area was shaped by its river commerce, railroads, milling, and rapid town growth. The view sweeps across a tidy grid of streets and blocks, tracing the curve of the river along the town's edge and the rail lines cutting through the open prairie beyond.

Notable landmarks shown on the map include Pleasant Lake, the Wichita Roller Mills, the river bridge, and the ornamental brick blocks and civic buildings pictured in the vignettes bordering the scene, along with many of the historic streets and railroads that shaped life around Wichita Falls in the era.

For anyone with roots in Wichita Falls, this map is more than a historic view. It captures the early streets, the mills, and the quiet bend of the river beside Pleasant Lake that first defined the town, and the memories that keep families connected to Wichita Falls.
