1963 Map of Angleton

About this map

Angleton serves as a bustling hub of rail and industry in the early 1960s, defined by the crossing of the Missouri Pacific railroad lines and a growing network of public institutions. The town is densely packed with local landmarks, including the Central Sch, Jr High Sch, and the Armory, while the Fairground sits on the eastern edge. This coastal prairie landscape is heavily shaped by natural resource extraction, with the expansive Chenango Oil Field and Angleton Oil Field blanketing the northern territory.
