1959 Map of India

About this map

Bois D'Arc Island dominates the central landscape of this survey, a distinctive landform defined by the winding course of the Trinity River and the meandering Parsons Slough. The area sits at the intersection of Dallas, Kaufman, and Ellis Counties, showing a rural economy transitioning from traditional agriculture to industrial extraction. Numerous Gravel Pits are scattered across the terrain, particularly along the river basin and near Cottonwood Creek, indicating the importance of local material resources during this mid-century period.
