1964 Map of Sand Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Trinity River snakes through the center of this 1960s survey, marking the boundary between Houston and Madison counties. This region is characterized by a mix of river bottomlands and upland settlements, where small rural communities like Antioch and Vistula center around local landmarks such as Antioch Ch and Union Grove Ch. The landscape reveals an era of active resource extraction, indicated by numerous Gas Wells, a Refinery, and a Gravel Pit near the riverbanks. To the south, the extensive acreage of the Eastham State Prison Farm occupies a significant portion of the river bend, contrasting with the scattered family cemeteries like Boatman Cem and Union Grove Cem that anchor the local genealogy of the area. Oxbow lakes including Patterson Lake and Snag Lake illustrate the shifting nature of the river's path over time.
