1963 Map of Brenham

About this map

Brenham dominates the landscape as it grew during the mid-to-late 20th century, with purple-tinted revisions showing its urban expansion toward the Athletic Field and Blinn College. This map documents a deeply established community in Washington County, evidenced by a dense concentration of historical burial grounds including Prairie Lea Cemetery, Calvary Cem, and the notable Yellow Fever Cem. To the northwest, the smaller settlements of Zionville and Berlin maintain their rural character, connected by a network of creeks like New Year Creek and Big Sandy Creek.
