1957 Map of Terry

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Industrial energy and coastal marshlands converge along the Orange Co Jefferson Co line, where the Neches River bends sharply near Bessie Heights. The landscape is defined by the extensive Bessie Heights Oil and Gas Field, characterized by a network of canals and pipelines that navigate the low-lying terrain near Gum Island and Grays Bayou. Along the southern bank, the prominent Oil Refinery and Oak Bluff Memorial Park sit near the Smith Bluff Cutoff, marking a shift from rural wetlands to heavy industry. Transport in the northern section is anchored by the Southern Pacific railroad, which passes through the small settlements of Terry, Connell, and Oilla. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, recording numerous family-named burial sites such as Stephenson Cem, Adcock Cem, Wallace Cem, and Williams Cem.
