1961 Map of Anahuac

About this map

The Trinity River delta and the expansive Lake Anahuac dominate this 1961 revision, where the marshlands of the upper Trinity Bay meet the coastal prairie. The settlement of Anahuac serves as the focal point, situated at the southern terminus of the lake and featuring the Chambers Memorial Hospital and the County Airport. To the north, the community of Wallisville sits near the river's edge, marked by the Wallisville Sch and Middleton Memorial Ch. The map illustrates a landscape transitioning toward industrial activity, evidenced by the Turtle Bayou Oil Field and several pumping stations distributed along the bayous. Numerous small cemeteries like Wiggins Cem and Barrow Cem are scattered across the quadrangle, reflecting the early settlement patterns of the Liberty Co and Chambers Co border region.
