1966 Map of Box Church

About this map

Box Church and Old Union anchor this mid-century portrait of rural Limestone County, where the Navasota River and its Old Channel wind through a landscape defined by small-scale agriculture and early energy development. The geography is notably dotted with family and community burial grounds, including the Hughes and Hyden Cem, Potter Shop Cem, and Lenamon Cem, offering significant value for genealogists tracing local lineage. The terrain rises to Andrews Hill and Cedar Mound, overlooking a complex network of creeks such as Faulkenberry Creek and Montgomery Creek. While small settlements like Blains and Old Union Ch mark the crossroads of community life, the map also documents the industrial presence of numerous Gas Wells and a major Pipeline cutting across the southern portion of the quadrangle.
