1956 Map of Buhler

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The West Fork Calcasieu River and the Houston River dominate this 1950s landscape, meeting near what is now Sam Houston State Park. This survey, updated with 1970s photorevised data, illustrates a transition from rural timber and wetlands to industrial expansion around Westlake. The Kansas City Southern railroad cuts diagonally through the settlement of Buhler, providing a backbone for the area's transport. Significant local landmarks such as Mt Carmel Ch and the Willow Spring Sch with its adjacent Willow Spring Sch Cem serve as vital markers for genealogists and local historians. The presence of the Indian Bayou Ferry across the main river channel and the Bayou Verdine industrial corridor near the Powerplant and various pumping stations highlights the region's historical reliance on both water-based transit and growing industrial infrastructure.
