1955 Map of Kountze
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
The town of Kountze serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated at the intersection of the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe and the Texas and New Orleans (Southern Pacific) railroads. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of timber and oil industries, evidenced by the Kirby Lumber Tram and the sprawling East Village Mills Oil Field. Beyond the main settlements, the map documents smaller communities such as Honey Island and the site of Old Hardin, providing a clear record of the area's transition from early timber hubs to an integrated rail and energy corridor. Numerous family cemeteries like Holland Cem and Olive Cem are preserved on the sheet alongside rural landmarks like the Kountze Lookout Tower and Providence Ch, reflecting the deep-rooted social fabric of Hardin County during the 1950s.
