2019 Map of Kilgore NE

About this map

Longview and Kilgore anchor this 2019 survey of the East Texas oil fields, a landscape defined by the winding course of the Sabine River and its complex network of tributaries. The map details a transition from the urbanized edges of Greggton in the north to the industrial and residential pockets around Rolling Meadows and Danville. This modern topographic study reveals how contemporary infrastructure, such as the Kilgore Airport and several major loops, navigates the natural drainage of Rabbit Creek and Hawkins Cr. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint several significant burial grounds, from the large Lakeview Memorial Gardens to smaller sites like Wilkerson Cem and Utzman Cem. The terrain is marked by numerous bayous and sloughs, including Wyms Bayou and Bullhole Slough, illustrating the persistent influence of the river's floodplain on regional development.
