1958 Map of Tatum

About this map

Longview serves as a major industrial and educational hub in this mid-century survey, anchored by the presence of the Le Tourneau Tech Institute and the McClure Sch. The landscape is defined by the sweeping course of the Sabine River and the significant footprint of Cherokee Lake, which supports the Knox Lee Powerplant. This era captures East Texas during a period of intensive resource extraction, evidenced by the sprawling Tatum Gas Field and a dense network of pipelines.
