1959 Map of Van
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
Van stands as the primary hub in this late 1950s survey of eastern Van Zandt County, reflecting a landscape defined by both agriculture and industrial activity. A sprawling Tank Farm and the presence of numerous salt-related features, such as Magers Pond (Salt) and Tunnell Pond (Salt), indicate the importance of local extraction and storage industries during this era. The community is connected to the wider region by the Texas Short Line railroad, which cuts through the central terrain alongside numerous small settlements like Colfax and Owlett Green.
