1969 Map of Bloomburg

About this map

Bloomburg and the small settlement of Cass serve as the primary hubs in this late 1960s survey of the Texas-Arkansas borderlands. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Sulphur River and its associated Days Creek Islands in the northeast, while the Kansas City Southern railroad cuts a straight north-south path through the center. This region is a study in rural community infrastructure, as evidenced by a network of local churches including Golden Gate Ch, Center Point Ch, Sand Hill Ch, and Salem Ch. The presence of the State Line Road and the dividing line between Cass Co and Miller Co highlights the legal and social boundaries of the era. Genealogists may find value in the specific locations of the Macedonia Cem and Walters Cem, which are situated amidst the drainages of Cypress Creek and Turkey Creek.
