1957 Map of Texla

About this map

Texla stands at the northern edge of this Southeast Texas landscape, where the lumber and rail history of the region is etched into the road network. The Old Texla Mill Road and Old Buna Road intersect a terrain defined by the winding course of Cow Bayou and the expansive Sawgrass Marsh. To the south, the emergence of suburban residential developments like Maple Crest Acres and Lakewood signals a transition in land use toward the mid-century, contrasting with the rural industrial character of the surrounding oil and gas wells.
