About this map

Koerth and Ezzell anchor this mid-1960s landscape in Lavaca County, where the meandering course of the Lavaca River and its unique loop at Tiger Bend River define the local topography. This rural Texas terrain is etched with a dense network of seasonal and permanent waterways, including Mustang Creek, Rocky Creek, and Clarks Creek, which historically dictated the placement of early infrastructure. Local community life is evidenced by Mossy Grove Ch, Salem Ch, and Providence Sch, reflecting the importance of rural social centers during this era.

Industrial activity is scattered across the sheet in the form of a Sandpit, Gravel Pit, and isolated Oil Well sites, indicating a diversified economy relying on both natural resource extraction and the established agricultural land use. The presence of the Brown Bridge provides a specific reference point for local transportation across the river, illustrating the connectivity between these small settlements and the surrounding creek-cut plains.
