About this map

The growing town of Mount Pleasant serves as a clear center of education and industry in this mid-1960s study, which was later updated with 1970s land-use revisions. The urban core is densely packed with local institutions, including Washington High Sch, Edwards Sch, and Wallace Jr High Sch. A Refinery and the Municipal Airport mark the southwestern edge of town, while the St Louis Southwestern railroad cuts through the heart of the community.

Beyond the city limits, the rural landscape of Titus County is defined by creek drainage systems like Hart Creek and Evans Creek. Traces of earlier transportation persist in the north, where an Old Railroad Grade runs through Green Hill. Small communities and country landmarks, such as Harts Bluff Sch and Nevils Ch, anchor the countryside, providing valuable points of reference for those tracing family roots in areas like Gladewater or Liberty Hill.
