1963 Map of Bald Hill

About this map

Bald Hill rises above the piney woods of Angelina County, anchoring a landscape defined by small rural settlements and a mid-century energy infrastructure. During the early 1960s, the area around Prairie Grove and Shady Grove maintained a traditional East Texas character, with Pine Grove Ch and Gilbert Chapel serving as local community hubs. This era also shows the shifting economic focus of the region, where the timber and rail era of the Old Railroad Grade is overlaid by modern utility corridors, including a prominent Pipeline network and a Pumping Sta.
