1964 Map of Stanmire Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Trinity River winds through this 1960s landscape, defining the boundary between Houston and Leon counties. This riverine environment is characterized by a dense network of oxbow lakes and backwaters, including Stanmire Lake, Alligator Lake, and Zeke Lake, many tucked into the prominent Mitchell Bend. The presence of the Navarro Crossing Oil Field indicates the mid-century industrial reach into the rural bottomlands, where numerous oil wells and pipelines cross the terrain near Big Elkhart Creek. Small community centers like Wheeler Springs and Reynard appear alongside scattered country institutions such as Shiloh Church, Greater New Hope Church, and the Sand Flat School. The map also captures several family-named landmarks and water bodies like Taylor Lake and Haley Creek, which offer valuable points of reference for genealogists tracing ancestors in this part of East Texas.
