1957 Map of Palestine
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Davy Crockett National Forest and the Angelina National Forest dominate the central and eastern portions of this East Texas survey, illustrating a landscape defined by timber and river valleys. Major population centers like Palestine, Nacogdoches, and Lufkin serve as hubs for a dense network of transit routes, including the Missouri Pacific RR and Southern Pacific RR. The map preserves the geography of the region before the creation of several major modern reservoirs; for instance, the Angelina River and Attoyac Bayou flow freely through what would later become the Sam Rayburn Reservoir.
