About this map

The city of Henderson serves as a dense hub of civic and industrial activity in the early 1970s, defined by its concentration of schools like Northside Sch and the Jr High Sch. The town's layout is shaped by the Missouri Pacific railroad line and a network of arterial roads, including Jacksonville Road and Walker King Road, which connect the urban center to outlying residential areas such as Crimcrest and Lake View.

Industrial operations and natural resources are prominent throughout the landscape, from the East Texas Refinery Road and associated Refinery to numerous gas wells and gravel pits. These features suggest an economy deeply tied to the region's energy and mineral wealth. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, recording numerous burial grounds including New Hope Cem, Mt Vernon Cem, and the Lakewood Memorial Park (Cem), alongside community landmarks like Grandview Missionary Ch.
