1960 Map of Beeville
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The Aransas National Wildlife Refuge anchors the coastal bend on this mid-century survey, protecting a complex network of barrier islands and estuaries where the Guadalupe River and San Antonio River reach the gulf. Inland, the landscape is defined by the strategic intersection of railroads like the Texas and New Orleans and the Southern Pacific, which supported regional hubs such as Beeville and Goliad. The coastal economy is visible through the intricate shoreline of Matagorda Bay, Copano Bay, and Aransas Bay, while military installations like Foster AFB near Victoria and Camp Hulen at Palacios reflect the era's defense footprint. Genealogists and historians can trace numerous rural communities, from Yorktown to Woodsboro, connected by a burgeoning network of U.S. and State highways that transformed the Texas coastal plains in the decade following the war.
