About this map

Harrison Bayou carves a deep path through the piney woods of East Texas in this 1962 record of the area surrounding Scottsville. The landscape is defined by its rural social centers, featuring long-established landmarks like James Chapel, Antioch Ch, and the Kelly Sch. In the eastern portion of the quadrangle, the community of Latex sits near the state line, while infrastructure for the local energy economy is evident through the widespread Pipeline network and the Scottsville Field.

The Texas And Pacific railroad corridor serves as a primary axis for the region, passing through the heart of the settlement. Water features such as Verhalen Lake and Scottsville Lake interrupt the timbered terrain, which also includes named elevations like Mynors Hill. For genealogists, the presence of the Antioch Cem and Merriweather Cem provides specific points of reference for local family history during the mid-century era.
