1962 Map of Longview Heights

About this map

Lansing and the expansion of the North Lansing Gas Field define the industrial character of this corner of East Texas as it transitioned from 1962 into the late 1970s. The landscape is a mosaic of energy infrastructure and rural tradition, where numerous pipelines intersect old community centers like Summerfield Ch and Hebron Ch. The boundary between Gregg and Harrison Counties bisects the sheet, with the growing residential grid of Longview and Longview Heights pushing into the wooded terrain. Significant genealogical detail is preserved in the location of several burial grounds, including Grace Hill Cemetery, Lily Hill Cem, and Hope Cem. Water features such as Whitehurst Lake and Little Lake punctuate the ridges, while the Texas & Pacific Railroad remains a primary transport artery near the south-central cluster of schools like Forest Hill Sch and Daniels Sch.
