About this map

Longview expands eastward into Harrison County in this early 1960s portrait of a landscape transitioning between industry and residential growth. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the emerging neighborhoods of Oakland Heights and Longview Heights, where schools like Bramlette Sch and Valley View Sch serve a growing population. This development sits alongside an active Gas Field and a network of pipelines, highlighting the region's reliance on energy extraction.

Northward, the terrain remains more rural, defined by the winding course of Moccasin Creek and Panther Creek. The map is particularly rich for local historians, recording numerous rural congregations such as Hebron Ch and Lewis Chapel, along with several family-named burial grounds including La Grone Cem and Ray Cem. The transportation infrastructure is well-defined, from the Harleton Junction Station in the northeast to the East Side Airport near the city's edge.
