1962 Map of Glendale

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Houston Co Trinity Co line runs through this wooded landscape, marking a rural territory defined by creek drainages and small community centers. Glendale and Friday serve as the primary focal points of settlement, surrounded by several family-named burial grounds including Holly Cem, Anderson Cem, and Saron Cem. The 1970s updates to this map indicate significant changes to the southern terrain, specifically the controlled inundation areas of Lake Livingston Elevation 131 along the lower reaches of White Rock Creek and Tantabague Creek. Rural life in this era is anchored by local institutions like Zion Hill Ch and Thompson Sch, while the landscape is also marked by Oil Wells and Gravel Pits, pointing to the region's extraction activities. The meandering path of Little White Rock Creek and numerous pipelines further characterize the intersection of natural waterways and modern industrial infrastructure.
