1965 Map of Wied

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The small rural community of Wied sits at the center of this Lavaca County landscape, which was characterized by cattle ranching and scattered agricultural homesteads in the mid-1960s. The area is defined by a dense network of winding waterways, including Smothers Creek, Ponton Creek, and Rocky Creek, which likely provided the necessary drainage and water sources for the region's livestock. Local life in this era revolved around institutions like the Vysehrad Sch and the Mount Olive church and settlement, while the Charlottenburg Cem serves as a marker of the area's early German-Texan heritage. An Old RR Grade cutting through the terrain southeast of Worthing points to an earlier era of rail transportation that once connected these isolated pockets of the county. In the southeast corner near Mont, the map records several gas wells and a Quarry, indicating the transition from purely agricultural land use to early industrial resource extraction.
