1960 Map of Phelps

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Sam Houston National Forest dominates this landscape in Walker County, where managed timberlands and federal boundaries intersect with local agricultural and institutional history. At the heart of the region, the Missouri Pacific railroad serves as the primary corridor for commerce, passing through the small community of Phelps. A significant footprint is occupied by the State Prison Farm (Goree), reflecting the long-standing correctional history of the area. The map also captures the local industrial and ecological landscape, featuring an Oil Field and several individual Oil Wells, alongside the State Fish Hatchery and several small water bodies like Tillie Lake and Joy Lake. Genealogy researchers may find particular value in the documentation of several historic religious and burial sites, including the Grant Colony Cem, Blackjack Cem, and the former locations of Mt Moriah Ch (Site) and Harmony Ch (Site).
