1960 Map of Pritchett

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Pritchett and the surrounding Upshur County landscape appear in 1960 as a mosaic of woodlots and small agricultural clearings, anchored by the St Louis Southwestern railroad cutting through the southeastern corner. This area is defined by a high density of rural religious and community centers, including Johnson Chapel, Oak Grove Ch, and New Hope Ch, often located near family-named landmarks like Peter Haynes Hill. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of numerous small waterways such as Glade Creek and Kelsey Creek, where clusters of homes and churches formed at crossroad hamlets like Latch and Enoch. For genealogists, the proximity of Kelsey Cem to the Kelsey settlement and the New Hope Cem provides specific burial locations tied to these mid-century communities. The presence of Gravel Pits and a Landing Strip near the rail line indicates the localized industry and transit supporting these East Texas townships.
