About this map

Latex stands at the intersection of the Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas borders, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by state boundaries and riparian systems. The 1960s terrain is characterized by a high density of rural infrastructure, including numerous Oil Wells and a network of pipelines that reflect the region's mid-century energy industry. Settlement patterns follow the creeks and bayous, with Watson Bayou in the north and Bullard Creek winding through the center.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of community landmarks. Clusters of activity are centered around the Jonesville Sch and several country churches like Republican Ch and Shiloh Ch. Family-named cemeteries, including Davis Cem, Swanson Cem, and Dean Cem, are scattered across the landscape, often positioned near these small congregations and the (K C S) railroad line that traverses the northern edge of the territory.
