1925 Map of Brady 2-b

About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep, winding path through this central Texas landscape, creating a rugged divide between Waldrip and the surrounding terrain. Surveyed in 1925, this sheet highlights a rural economy tied closely to its watercourses, featuring the Chaffin Crossing and the nearby Chaffin Cem as key community landmarks along the river's edge. This period of Texas history reflects a scattered settlement pattern where small rural centers like Fife and the Marion School served as the primary social anchors for a population living across the divided drainage basins of Bull Creek and Elm Creek.
