1955 Map of Kountze
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Kountze serves as the focal point for this mid-century look at Hardin County, where the logging and petroleum industries shaped the local landscape. The map captures a transition in transportation, showing the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe and the Texas and New Orleans (Southern Pacific) railroads alongside evidence of earlier timber operations like the Kirby Lumber Tram and an Old Railroad Grade. This industrial footprint is further evidenced by the East Village Mills Oil Field and the Nona Mills Oil Field, which punctuate the dense network of creeks.
