1960 Map of Beaumont East

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The industrial and educational hub of Beaumont centers on the serpentine path of the Neches River, where the iconic Spindletop Oil Field and a massive Oil Refinery define the local economy. This 1960 era landscape showcases the intersection of river-based commerce at the Turning Basin and the growth of the Lamar State College of Technology. The residential street grid is densely packed with community pillars, ranging from the South Texas State Fairground and Magnolia Cemetery to a vast network of neighborhood institutions like Bowie Jr High Sch and St Anthony High Sch. East of the river, the terrain shifts into the marshy expanses of Smith Island and Rose City, where the Southern Pacific and Kansas City Southern railroads navigate the low-lying bayous and ridges toward Vidor.
