1966 Map of Peck Branch

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The convergence of Victoria, DeWitt, Lavaca, and Jackson counties in the mid-1960s reveals a landscape defined by industrial extraction and scattered rural landmarks. Extensive Gravel Pits dominate the western terrain near the Victoria County line, highlighting the region's reliance on mineral resources during this era. The small settlement of Salem sits centrally, serving as a quiet focal point amidst a network of drainage systems including Haines Flat Creek and Chicolete Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Fordtran Cem and a simple Roadside Park along the highway provides tangible links to the community's mid-century physical layout. The map also documents a heavy concentration of gas wells and pipelines, illustrating the intensification of energy infrastructure across the coastal prairie.
