1960 Map of Blanchard

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Lake Livingston dominates this landscape, showing a significant transformation of the Trinity River valley. This 1974 photorevised edition highlights areas subject to controlled inundation in purple, illustrating the creation of the reservoir. Along the shoreline, settlements like Blanchard and Tigerville remain above the water line, while the southern reaches of the map near Swartout track the river's original winding path along the Polk Co San Jacinto Co boundary. The map captures a mix of old transport and modern infrastructure, from an Old Railroad Grade north of Tempe Creek to the Livingston Municipal Airport and a prominent Pipeline. Local landmarks such as Garner Chapel and Moore Hill provide specific points of interest for genealogists and researchers tracking the evolution of East Texas communities during the mid-20th century.
