1955 Map of Daisetta

The map reveals a patchwork of grassy prairies and wooded bottoms, with Batiste Prairie, Sams Prairie, and Stockpen Prairie providing open ground between the dense drainage networks of Batiste Creek and Gum Gully. For those tracing local roots, several rural landmarks are documented, including Tanner Settlement, Sacred Heart Ch, and the Oak Dale Cemetery. These features, combined with the Jefferson Davis Highway and the Old Spanish Trail, illustrate the intersection of historical cattle country and the burgeoning petroleum era.
