1960 Map of Lindale

About this map

The town of Lindale serves as the focal point for this survey of northeast Smith County, Texas, depicting the region as it transitioned through the mid-20th century. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Sabine River and the Old Sabine River Channel to the north, which form the boundary with Wood County. The local economy and social structure are reflected in the numerous rural institutions scattered throughout the timbered hills, including Harris Chapel, Friendship Ch, and Walnut Springs Ch.
