USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Tyler and the surrounding East Texas oil fields emerge as a major industrial corridor in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the era, from the Longhorn Ordnance Works near Caddo Lake to the intricate network of the Texas & Pacific RR and St. Louis Southwestern RR lines that linked cities like Longview, Marshall, and Gladewater. Significant water management projects are visible at the Iron Bridge Dam on Lake Tawakoni and the Spillway 250 at Lake O' the Pines.
