1958 Map of Carthage

About this map

Carthage serves as the focal point of this Panola County landscape, showing the city's mid-century expansion including Panola Jr College and the local Radio Station (KGAS). To the south, the recently completed Lake Murvaul dominates the terrain, with numerous family-named points like Ritter Pt and Dudley Williams Pt jutting into the new reservoir. The area is dense with rural community markers, particularly country churches like Bethlehem Ch and Antioch Ch, alongside small settlements such as Beckville and Gary. Transportation and industry are well-defined by the At & Sf Rr and a network of pipelines and gas wells, reflecting the region's energy-based economy. The northern reaches follow the winding Sabine River and its bottomlands, including Horseshoe Lake and Fish Lake.
