1958 Map of Vernon
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
The Pease River meanders across this North Texas landscape, defining the transition between the agricultural plains of Lockett and the industrial hub of Vernon. In the late 1950s, the city of Vernon serves as a focal point for the region's transport and culture, anchored by the Santa Rosa Roundup Rodeo Grounds and the sprawling campus of the Vernon State Hospital. The influence of the railroad is evident in the path of the Fort Worth and Denver, which links smaller communities like Tolbert to the larger market. Rural life is well-documented through a network of local institutions, including Pleasant Home Ch and Zion Ch Cem, which are surrounded by the agricultural reaches of Farmers Valley. This survey captures the county's mid-century development, from the Hillcrest Country Club to the various Gravel Pits that supported local infrastructure.
