1960 Map of Hainesville

About this map

The settlement of Hainesville and the surrounding Wood County landscape are defined by a dense network of watercourses and early rural infrastructure during the early 1960s. The area is heavily intersected by the Texas and Pacific railroad and a significant Pipeline corridor, reflecting the region's industrial utility. Notable genealogical sites are scattered throughout the hills, including the Mt Pisgah Cem and Maxwell Cem, alongside local gathering points like Macedonia Ch and the Salesmanship Boys Club. The hydraulic history of the area is visible in the numerous branches and ponds, such as Haines Lake, Puckett Lake, and the specific mention of the Doble Lake Spillway. This map captures a moment before modern development, where small communities like Pine Mills and Fouke maintained their own identities with essential facilities like the Pine Mills Sch still documented on the landscape.
