1943 Map of Liberty
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Trinity River snakes through the center of this terrain, anchoring a landscape defined by timber, oil, and early Texas settlement patterns. This reconnaissance, based on 1911 topography, details the transition of the Big Thicket from a wilderness into a productive industrial zone. Evidence of the region's logging era is everywhere, from the Cummings Logging Camp to the numerous mills in Milvid and Mill Town. The arrival of the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad and the Beaumont Sour Lake and Western Railroad provided the necessary infrastructure for these industries to thrive.
