1963 Map of Sweet Home

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The community of Sweet Home serves as the focal point for this rural landscape in the early 1960s, situated near the boundary line of Lavaca Co De Witt Co. The area is characterized by a high density of rural burial sites, including the Queen of Peace Cem, Sweet Home Cem, and Yellow Bank Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The terrain is crisscrossed by numerous waterways such as Clarks Creek and Supplejack Creek, while the presence of the South Yoakum Oilfield and various Gas Wells in the southwest corner points to the region's energy-based economy. Historical transportation routes are evidenced by the Old Railroad Grade, which parallels the main road through the center of the township. Local gathering points and infrastructure like the Picnic Ground and the Radio Tower (KKDI) further ground the map in its mid-century Texas context.
