1960 Map of Big Sandy
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The St Louis Southwestern and Texas and Pacific railroads intersect at Big Sandy, a vital transportation hub situated just north of the Sabine River on the border of Upshur and Smith counties. This mid-century survey illustrates a landscape of established rural communities and faith-based institutions, including the Seventh Day Adventist Camp and Camp Natowa (Camp Fire Girls) near Rocky Creek. The terrain transitions from the low-lying wetlands of Big Sandy Creek to the prominent height of Pinnacle Mountain in the north. Scattered throughout the countryside are local landmarks like the Excelsior Sch and Tabernacle, alongside numerous country churches such as Locust Grove Ch and Bethel Ch, which served as the social centers for the surrounding farming families and small settlements like Waters Bluff.
