1961 Map of Hallsville

About this map

Hallsville serves as the primary hub in this eastern Texas landscape, anchored by its High Sch and the surrounding road network just before the region's mid-century modernization fully took hold. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Little Cypress Bayou to the north and numerous seasonal drainages like Sewells Creek and Wards Creek. This 1961 field-checked map captures several small, distinct communities and church-centered settlements, including Mulberry Springs, Carterville, and Walkers Mill. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed plotting of local landmarks such as Mt Pleasant Cem and the adjacent Mt Pleasant Sch, alongside Mission Point Ch and Evergreen Ch. These rural points of interest, together with scattered Radio Towers, reflect a period where agriculture and local industry like the Mill Pond still dictated the movement of residents across Harrison County.
