1962 Map of Baker Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Trinity River snakes through the bottomlands of this Texas interior, serving as the county line between Houston, Madison, and Walker counties in the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by its institutional use and rural isolation, dominated by the massive acreage of the Ferguson State Prison Farm and Eastham State Prison Farm. These sprawling state properties sit amidst a network of creek branches like Larrison Creek and Bedias Creek, where local life is anchored by small community centers. Genealogists will find interest in the pairing of religious and educational sites, such as the Shaw Prairie Ch and Shaw Prairie Sch, alongside the Hopewell Ch and Hopewell Sch. Further north, the settlement of Bald Prairie and nearby Bucks Cem mark the human geography of a region shaped by correctional agriculture and deep-rooted rural congregations.
