About this map

The Sabine River snakes across the northern landscape of this East Texas survey, setting the stage for a region defined by its mid-century energy boom. Kilgore sits at the heart of the activity, surrounded by the oil-industrial infrastructure of Oil City and Swamp City. The map reveals an intricate network of local roads and rail lines, including the Texas & Pacific and Missouri Pacific, which serviced the flourishing oil fields.
