1957 Map of Eagle Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Eagle Lake sits at the heart of this coastal prairie landscape, serving as a focal point for an extensive network of artificial waterways like the Irrigation Ditch. This 1957 edition, derived from military surveys conducted before the First World War, illustrates the critical intersection of rail and water in Colorado County. The Colorado River meanders through the western portion of the quadrangle, passing near the settlement of Alleyton and the Horseshoe Gulley. A dense lattice of railroads, including the Cane Belt R.R. and the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Ry, converge at Eagle Lake, highlighting the town's importance as a regional transportation hub. Smaller rail stops and junctions such as Rayner Junction, Ramsey, and Smith Junction suggest a landscape deeply tied to the agricultural and transit economy of the early 20th century.
