1960 Map of Bridgeport East

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The West Fork Trinity River carves a winding path through this Wise County landscape, defining the local geography alongside the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad. Centered on the community of Paradise, the map reveals a mid-century rural economy shifting toward energy production as numerous Gas Wells dot the terrain, culminating in the expansive Paradise Gas Field to the south. Local history is anchored by essential institutions like Cuba Ch, the Paradise School, and several family and community burial grounds, including Valley View Cemetery and Prescott Cemetery. To the northwest, the edge of Bridgeport begins its urban expansion, marked by a 1970s revision. The hydrology is particularly detailed, showing how tributaries like Big Sandy Creek, Waggoner Branch, and Rush Creek feed the Trinity River system.
