1960 Map of Voth

About this map

Pine Island Bayou meanders through the heart of this landscape, marking the boundary between Hardin and Jefferson counties as the northern fringes of Beaumont expand. The map reveals a transition from the industrial activity of the Ariola Oil Field and timber-rich lands near the Big Thicket National Preserve to residential developments like Rosedale Acres and Bor-ley Heights. Transport routes are anchored by the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads, which parallel the growth of settlements such as Loeb and Voth. Local community life is centered around institutions like the Chance-Loeb Sch and the Voth-Rosedale Sch. In the southeast, the Lower Neches Valley Authority Canal cuts through the terrain, supporting the region's complex water management and industrial needs near Helbig and Pine Crest.
