1962 Map of Lanier

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Linden and the surrounding piney woods of East Texas are defined here by a mid-century economy of natural resource extraction and rural community hubs. Extensive Strip Mines and the Linden East Oil Field underscore the industrial character of the landscape, while Iron Ore Lake provides a central water feature amidst the complex drainage of Jim Bayou and Wilburn Creek. For local history, the map preserves the locations of numerous country churches and cemeteries, including Salem Ch, Shiloh Ch, and Mt Zion Cem. The presence of the Linden-Kildare High Sch and several small settlements like Lanier and Kildare illustrate the social geography of the county during the early 1960s. The Texas and Pacific railroad line cuts through the southeastern corner, serving the Kildare Oil Field and connecting these remote communities to the broader regional network.
