1960 Map of Beaumont East

About this map

The Spindletop Oil Field anchors the southern landscape of this coastal Texas region, marking the enduring industrial legacy of the Beaumont area. By the early 1960s, the city of Beaumont had expanded significantly eastward toward the Neches River, showing a dense network of neighborhoods, schools, and hospitals. Notable institutions like the Lamar State College of Technology and Hotel Dieu Hospital reflect the mid-century growth of the urban core, while the presence of a massive Oil Refinery and the Rose City Oil Field across the river in Rose City highlight the region's total immersion in the petroleum economy. Transport relies on the Kansas City Southern and Southern Pacific railroads, which navigate the marshy bends of Star Bayou and Bairds Bayou. Smaller settlements such as Guffey, Gladys, and West Oakland are visible, alongside specialized infrastructure like the Fresh Water Canal.
