1961 Map of Anderson

About this map

Anderson serves as the focal point of this Grimes County landscape, situated near the headwaters of Holland Creek and Nebletts Creek. The 1961 field survey reveals a community organized around its civic and religious foundations, notably the Fairground and the prominent St Stanislaus Ch. Moving south across the open spaces of Grimes Prairie, the map documents a rural network of small schoolhouses and churches that anchored local life in the mid-twentieth century, including the Grimes Prairie Sch and Pleasant Grove Ch.
