1950 Map of Hitchcock
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad serves as the primary corridor for settlement in this coastal Texas landscape, linking the communities of Alta Loma and Hitchcock. To the north, the Camp Wallace Military Reservation occupies a significant portion of the terrain, while the southern reaches of the map dissolve into the marshy wetlands of Karankawa Lake and Greens Lake. Genealogists will find notable detail in the multiple burial grounds, including the Alta Loma Cemetery and Galveston Memorial Cemetery. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage, where Highland Bayou and Halls Bayou wind through the flat coastal plain toward the Intracoastal Waterway. Rural infrastructure is marked by numerous family-named roads such as Tacquard Road and McElmoyle Road, alongside scattered windmills and early oil tanks.
