1960 Map of Carlisle

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Trinity River waters dominate this 1960s landscape, which was caught in a moment of significant geographic change. The creation of Lake Livingston is documented here through purple revisions, indicating controlled inundation zones that would soon submerge the historic floodplain. This transformation affected the river's path across the San Jacinto Co, Trinity Co, and Polk Co boundaries. On the high ground west of the rising waters, the settlement of Pointblank remains anchored by the Pointblank School and Liberty Hill Cem. To the north, the small community of Carlisle sits near the headwaters of Harts Creek. The map also preserves the locations of local landmarks such as Darby Hill and the Pine Valley Ch, providing a detailed look at the rural social fabric before the reservoir fully reshaped the region's topography.
