1955 Map of Silsbee

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Neches River forms a serpentine border between Hardin and Jasper counties, winding through a complex landscape of sloughs and bottomlands like Sand Slough and Bear Woods Flat. The town of Silsbee serves as the regional hub, situated at the intersection of the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe and the At & SF railroads. This era was defined by intensive natural resource extraction, evidenced by the extensive Silsbee Oil Field and Beech Creek Oil Field that pepper the piney woods with wells and pipelines.
