1945 Map of Cushing
USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
Cushing and the rural borderlands of Nacogdoches Co and Rusk Co appear here during a period of established agrarian life and rail-dependent commerce. The Southern Pacific railroad serves as the primary industrial artery, connecting the settlements of Sacul and Reklaw to the broader Texas market. The landscape is defined by the significant topographic rise of the Elk Mountains and Denman Mtn, while the river bottoms of the Angelina River and Mud Creek provide the drainage for numerous small-scale farming communities. Social life in the 1940s is anchored by a dense network of country schools and churches, such as Glenfawn Sch and Beech Grove Ch, reflecting a time before the widespread consolidation of rural districts. Local history enthusiasts can trace the old road alignments of 84 and 204 as they navigate the ridges and creek valleys of this East Texas timber and farm country.
