1965 Map of Hope

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The boundary between Lavaca and DeWitt counties serves as a backdrop for this mid-1960s landscape, characterized by the winding headwaters of the Lavaca River and a dense network of creek branches. The settlement of Hope stands near the northwestern corner, situated along Scarboroughs Branch and Supplejack Creek. The area’s economic activity is evidenced by scattered Oil Well locations, a Pumping Station, and multiple Gravel Pits, suggesting a rural economy reliant on mineral extraction and livestock. Local genealogy is anchored by the Harless Cemetery and an unnamed Cemetery near Boggy Creek. The map reveals a transition from wooded creek bottoms like Big Brushy Creek to more open pastures, typical of the coastal plains region before more modern infrastructure intensified. This survey provides a clear view of the family-named landmarks and watercourses that defined the community during the transition to late-twentieth-century industrial practices.
