1960 Map of Minden

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Minden and the surrounding piney woods of East Texas are documented here during a period of steady rural development. The landscape is defined by the crossing of Texas 43 and Texas 315, connecting smaller settlements like Fair Play, Brachfield, and Chapman. This survey illustrates a deeply rooted community structure, evidenced by the high density of country schools and churches, such as Antioch Sch and Liberty Missionary Ch. Numerous family cemeteries, including the Waldrop Tabernacle Cem and Wasson Cem, offer significant leads for genealogical research. The drainage patterns of Irons Bayou and Murvaul Bayou dominate the southern half of the quadrangle, where the terrain is marked by a network of creek branches and sloughs. Evidence of industrial infrastructure appears in the form of a Pipeline cutting through the center, contrasting with the traditional agrarian settlement patterns found on Prospect Hill.
