About this map

The boundary between Gregg Co Harrison Co bisects this landscape during a period of industrial and residential expansion. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the growing footprint of Longview, characterized by new housing developments and civic institutions such as Forest Park Jr High Sch and Valley View Sch. The Texas and Pacific rail line runs parallel to Marshall Ave, anchoring the region's transportation network near East Side Airport.

Beyond the urban core, the North Lansing Gas Field indicates the importance of local energy extraction, with numerous pipelines and wells scattered through the wooded terrain. Smaller rural settlements like Lansing and Summerfield maintain a traditional character, marked by a high density of community landmarks including Hebron Ch, Lily Hill Cem, and Grace Hill Cemetery. The presence of several Gravel Pits and the Harleton Receiving Station further reflect the varied economic activity of East Texas in the early 1960s.
