1964 Map of Commerce South

About this map

Commerce anchors the northern edge of this mid-1960s survey, defined by the expanding campus of East Texas State College and its landmark Athletic Field. The landscape south of the city reveals a transition from organized town life to the agricultural and bottomland geography of the South Sulphur River. Several small crossroads and rural centers such as Campbell and Cumby are documented, alongside numerous country churches including Riley Grove Ch and Croastimbers Ch, which suggest the social structure of these communities during the era.
