1955 Map of Woodville

About this map

Woodville serves as the primary hub of this East Texas piney woods landscape, shown during a period of transition in the mid-1950s. The town's layout is centered on the junction of rail and road, with the Southern Pacific railroad cutting north through Colmesneil and south toward the coast. The rural character of the county is evident in the dense distribution of family and community landmarks, such as Hickory Grove Cem, Barlow Chapel, and Egypt Ch. The map reveals the intricate drainage network of the Neches River watershed, including the Wolf Creek and Turkey Creek systems that define the local topography.
