1960 Map of Coffeeville

About this map

Coffeeville and its surrounding rural communities are captured here during a period of transition in Northeast Texas, where old country roads meet a modern 4 Lane highway cutting through the wooded hills. The landscape is defined by its social anchors, particularly the numerous rural congregations such as Holly Springs Ch, Bishop Ch, and Prince Chapel. In the northeast, the terrain is marked by Coal Mine Hollow and Brown Mountain, hinting at the area's geological and industrial character. Local genealogy is anchored by the Coffeeville Cem, situated near the eponymous settlement. The drainage network, featuring South Greasy Creek and Gum Creek, dictates the placement of smaller hamlets like Cox and Stamps. This survey provides a clear view of the 1960s road network, contrasting established settlements with the topographic features of the Barnwell Mountains.
