1963 Map of Eagle Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
Eagle Lake serves as the focal point of this coastal prairie landscape, its waters flanked by the Silver Creek Fish Hatchery and a series of industrial Gravel Pits. In the early 1960s, the town of Eagle Lake was a hub of transport and industry, defined by the intersection of the Southern Pacific and the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroads. The settlement pattern reveals distinct community hubs, with Greater Rising Star Ch and White Cloud Ch situated on the western outskirts, while the southern reaches towards Matthews are marked by the Mount Zion Ch and its accompanying Mount Zion Cem. This era shows a land heavily utilized for its resources, from the intensive Strip Mine operations west of the lake to the spreading infrastructure of the Lissie Oil Field and West Bernard Oil Field to the east and south.
