1960 Map of Cuero

About this map

The city of Cuero sits as a regional hub in DeWitt County, anchored by its grid of streets such as Esplanade Street and Broadway St. The Guadalupe River meanders to the west, defining the local topography alongside its many tributaries including Sandies Creek and Threemile Creek. Evidence of early 20th-century transportation is visible in the Old Railroad Grade and the active tracks of the Texas and New Orleans railroad, which historically served as the Southern Pacific line. Beyond the urban center, the map documents the rural infrastructure of the era, from the Ratcliffe Sch in the southwest to the Antioch Ch and Zion Ch. Notable community landmarks such as Burns Hospital and the Municipal Airport contrast with industrial features like several Gravel Pits and the local Sewage Disposal plant.
