1962 Map of Oklahoma

About this map

Spring Creek meanders along the southern border of this Southeast Texas landscape, marking the boundary between Montgomery Co and Harris Co. The early 1960s terrain is heavily defined by petroleum extraction, with the Indian Hills Oil Field, Tamina Oil Field, and Hufsmith East Oil Field scattered across the wooded piney woods. Small settlements like Oklahoma and Egypt provide historical anchor points for researchers, while the Missouri Pacific railroad cuts through the southwest corner near Hufsmith. Local genealogy is well-represented by family-named landmarks and resting places such as Zion Cem and Pate Cem. The map reveals a complex network of wetlands and small bodies of water, including Neidigk Lake, Schwintz Lake, and Mayhaw Pond, interspersed with industrial features like a Cycling Plant and numerous Gravel Pits.
