1961 Map of Kemp

About this map

The town of Kemp stands as the primary hub of activity in this 1961 survey, situated at the junction of the Southern Pacific and Texas and New Orleans railroads. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Cedar Creek, Kings Creek, and the Lacy Fork, showing a rural Texas economy transitioning into the 1960s. Local infrastructure is prominently mapped, including a Stadium and Water Tank in Kemp, while the surrounding countryside features small settlements like Becker and Gossett. Industrial footprints are visible through several Oil Wells, a Gravel Pit, and various Sludge Pit labels, alongside a significant Pipeline corridor. The northeastern portion of the map is dominated by the Tarrent County Water Control and Improvement District No. 1, signaling the area's ongoing hydrological management and utility development during this era.
