1960 Map of Cuero

About this map

The Guadalupe River snakes through the heart of this DeWitt County landscape, framing the development of Cuero at the dawn of the 1960s. The city's concentrated grid shows a community established around the Southern Pacific Railroad Grade and the Texas and New Orleans Railroad Grade, reflecting the rail-driven economy of the era. Cultural landmarks like Hillside Cem, the Armory, and Burns Hospital anchor the urban center, while a Historical Marker suggests a deep-rooted local heritage. Outside the city limits, the terrain transitions to rural acreage dotted with small settlements like Lindenau and industrial sites including several Gravel Pits and an Oil Well. The distribution of family-named landmarks such as Mc Crabb Cem and local institutions like Ratcliffe Sch offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing the mid-century footprint of this South Texas region.
