1967 Map of Elmendorf

About this map

Calaveras Lake dominates the central landscape of this Southeast Texas quadrangle, where the waters of Calaveras Creek are contained by a series of dams, including Calaveras Creek Dam No 10 and Calaveras Creek Dam No 3. In the southwest, the Southern Pacific railroad passes through the settlement of Elmendorf, a hub near the shores of Braunig Lake. The area reflects a mix of rural industry and deep-rooted community ties, evidenced by the Eckert Oil Field and the numerous family-named burial grounds like San Lorenzo Cem and Arciniega Cem.
