1982 Map of Todd City

About this map

The Neches River flows through this East Texas landscape, forming a natural boundary between Anderson Co and Cherokee Co. The regional economy of the early 1980s is clearly defined by the Todd City Oil Field and the Neches Gas Plant, with numerous oil wells and pipelines marking the wooded terrain. Settlement patterns follow the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor, where the communities of Ironton and Prices are situated. Local genealogy is anchored by several country churches, including Evan Spring Ch, Friendship Ch, and Brushy Chapel, along with the Miller Cem near the northern edge of the map. Distinctive topographic landmarks like Cary Lake Mountain and Tater Hill rise above the river valley, while numerous small lakes such as Hurricane Lake and Cherry Tree Lake dot the wetlands surrounding the river.
