1959 Map of Van Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Sabine River forms the northern boundary of this 1959 survey, where the border of Smith, Wood, and Van Zandt counties meet. This period in East Texas history is defined by the extensive petroleum infrastructure of the Van Oil Field, which occupies much of the western landscape near the settlement of Van. The map reveals a transition from industrial energy extraction to a rural, water-rich interior characterized by numerous small reservoirs and named creeks.
