1960 Map of Lissie

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Bernard Prairie landscape of 1960 is defined by a sophisticated water management and industrial system, where the Chesterville Line Canal cuts across the flat terrain to support local agriculture. The Texas and New Orleans (Southern Pacific) railroad serves as the primary corridor for the region's economy, connecting small settlements like Lissie and Chesterville. At Lissie, the presence of a Rice Mill and Po indicates a functional agricultural hub, while the surrounding Lisse Field and Chesterville Oil Field reveal an active petroleum and gas industry. Natural drainage is provided by the winding courses of Middle Bernard Creek and West Bernard Creek, which contrast with the straight engineered lines of the irrigation canals and pipelines. Further east, the settlement of Nottawa sits near a prominent Radio Tower and Gas Plant, marking the intersection of rural life and industrial infrastructure during this era.
