1960 Map of Gladewater

About this map

Gladewater serves as the central hub of this East Texas survey, where the convergence of the Sabine River and the Texas and Pacific railroad defined the local economy during the mid-20th century. The map captures a landscape characterized by petroleum infrastructure and local community institutions, featuring numerous oil wells and a Salt Water Disposal Well alongside established neighborhoods. To the north, the substantial Lake Gladewater and smaller bodies like Wood Lake and Honeycutt Lake dominate the drainage basin of Glade Creek.
