1959 Map of Golden

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Sabine River winds through the heart of this East Texas landscape, forming the natural boundary between Wood and Van Zandt counties. At the end of the 1950s, the area's geography was defined by the Texas and Pacific railroad line, which skirts the northern edge of the river's floodplain. The settlement of Golden sits at a crossroads to the north, while the western expansion of Mineola is visible to the east near Wisener Airport. This period shows a countryside dotted with community institutions like the Providence Sch and Sand Springs Church. The bottomlands are particularly dense with named oxbows and water bodies, including Silver Lake, Butler Lake, and Charter Lake, reflecting a riparian environment prior to extensive modern drainage or development.
