1960 Map of Beaumont East

About this map

The Spindletop Oil Field and the industrial corridors of the Neches River dominate this landscape, capturing the peak of Texas petrochemical expansion. In the east, the sprawling Oil Refinery sits adjacent to the Turning Basin, where maritime commerce meets the deep-water infrastructure of Harbor Island. This 1960s perspective reveals the dense residential and educational growth of south Beaumont, anchored by the Lamar State College of Technology and a complex network of schools like Pollard High Sch and Hebert High Sch. The map preserves the original rail-and-river economy, tracing the Southern Pacific lines through the heart of the city while outlying areas like Guffey and Gladys remain tied to the legacy of the oil boom. Historic crossings and rural routes, such as the Old Mansfield Ferry Road, provide a contrast to the burgeoning urban grid.
