1965 Map of Northeast Midland

About this map

The growing city of Midland is captured here during a period of significant mid-century expansion. The urban grid is dense with neighborhood schools and parks, such as San Jacinto Jr High Sch and Crockett Park, reflecting the post-war housing boom. To the north, the landscape remains largely industrial and open, marked by gravel pits and landmarks like the Valhalla Mausoleum. The Texas and Pacific railroad corridor serves as a primary axis for the region's economy, running parallel to the residential blocks of Alabama Ave and Texas Ave.
