1957 Map of Orangefield

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Bessie Heights and the industrial corridors of Orange County define this mid-century coastal landscape where the Neches River and Sabine River converge toward the Gulf. The map reveals an economy built on heavy industry and logistics, featuring the North Port Neches Oil and Gas Field and a dense network of major railroads including the Southern Pacific and Kansas City Southern. Smaller settlements like Orangefield and Mauriceville are interconnected by historic routes such as the Spanish Trail. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous family-named landmarks like Wilkinson Cem and Linscomb Cem, while the complex hydrology of Sawgrass Marsh and Cow Bayou illustrates the challenging terrain of the Texas-Louisiana borderlands before extensive modern development.
