USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The East Texas Oil Field dominates this mid-century landscape, illustrating the massive scale of petroleum extraction across Smith County and Gregg County. This era is defined by the proliferation of energy infrastructure, including the Carthage Gas Field and Rodessa Oil Field, which fueled regional growth in hubs like Tyler and Longview. Transport networks are heavily represented by a dense weave of railroads such as the Texas & Pacific RR and the St Louis Southwestern RR, alongside major arteries like US Highway 80.
