1960 Map of Lissie

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Bernard Prairie is defined here by a sophisticated network of water management and rail transportation straddling the Colorado and Wharton County line. The Southern Pacific railroad serves as the primary corridor for the region's economy, connecting the small settlements of Lissie, Nottawa, and Chesterville. In Lissie, a prominent Rice Mill stands near the tracks, illustrating the area's specialized farming heritage, while the Gas Plant and scattered wells of the nearby Oil Field point to the subterranean resources that diversified the local economy. Water control is central to this prairie environment, shown through the Chesterville Line Canal and the meandering courses of West Bernard Creek and Middle Bernard Creek. Small family landmarks, such as the Hoefer siding and a rural Cem, provide valuable points of reference for genealogists tracking early twentieth-century residents.
