1957 Map of Abilene East

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Academic and medical institutions define the eastern landscape of Abilene in the late 1950s. The city is a significant regional hub, anchored by Hardin-Simmons University, Abilene Christian College, and McMurry College. Beyond the campus grounds, the infrastructure of the era is evident in the sprawling Abilene State Hospital complex and the Hendrick Mem Hosp. The map highlights the transition from urban density to the surrounding prairie, where Cedar Creek and Lytle Creek feed into Lytle Lake. Transportation networks such as the Texas and Pacific railroad and the 36th Division Memorial Highway facilitate movement through this growing West Texas center. This period also shows the active Abilene Municipal Airport and the dedicated Abilene State Hospital Cem, providing a comprehensive view of the local social and physical geography.
