1960 Map of Voth

About this map

Pine Island Bayou meanders along the boundary of Hardin and Jefferson counties, serving as the central geographic feature of this 1960 landscape. The area shows a transition from the developing northern outskirts of Beaumont to the active industrial and rural spaces to the north. Industry and infrastructure are prominent, evidenced by the Ariola Oil Field and the intricate rail network of the Southern Pacific and Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroads. Local life is anchored by small communities such as Voth, Loeb, and Rosedale, each supported by neighborhood institutions like the Voth-Rosedale Sch and Mt Sinai Ch. The terrain north of the bayou is defined by complex water features, including Sandy Slough and Village Creek, reflecting the low-lying coastal plain environment. Numerous family and local road names like Walker Road and Toliver Road provide specific points of interest for genealogical research.
