About this map

Livingston serves as the focal point of this East Texas survey, situated at the intersection of significant rail and petroleum infrastructure in the late 1950s. The regional economy is clearly defined by the Livingston Oil Field and Morgan Creek Oil Field, alongside the Texas and New Orleans RR and the Southern Pacific lines. These transport routes parallel the Trinity River, which carves the southern boundary between Polk and San Jacinto counties.

Genealogists will find numerous rural landmarks, including the Restland Memorial Cem and Peebles Cem, as well as local congregations at Mt Rose Ch and Soda Ch. The landscape is a mosaic of dense drainage networks such as Long King Creek and Menard Creek, interspersed with specialized sites like Camp Cho-Yeh and the W T Carter and Brother Railroad Grade, reflecting the area's transition from timber and transit to a mid-century energy hub.
