1958 Map of Briggs

Family history is preserved at Gillum Cem, located on a rise between the river and the headwaters of Mill Creek. The map documents a rural Texas economy transitioning into the mid-century, defined by large tracts of land divided by several prominent creeks including Rocky Creek, Miller Branch, and Berry Creek. This survey, compiled from aerial photography, provides a clear record of the area's rural road systems and land use before later development altered the local character.
