1943 Map of Terry

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Southern Pacific tracks cut horizontally across the marshy lowlands of Orange County in the years during World War II, connecting the small community of Terry with neighboring Oilla. This landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where the Neches River forms the southern boundary near Smith Bluff, and an extensive network of artificial embankments, or levee systems, protects the low-lying terrain from the surrounding bayous. The industrial and navigational infrastructure of the era is evident in the Bessie Heights Canal and the presence of an Airway Beacon, marking this as a vital corridor for both rail and air transit.
