1949 Map of Brownsboro
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Brownsboro serves as a central hub on this post-war landscape, positioned along the St Louis Southwestern RR line at the confluence of the Henderson and Smith county lines. The topography transitions from the bottomlands of the Neches River and Kickapoo Creek to higher elevations such as Jennings Mountain and Horsley Mountain. Rural life is etched into the map through numerous small schools and churches that served scattered agricultural communities, including Pine Bluff Sch, Arc Ridge Sch, and Union Hill Ch. The presence of Oil Wells near Opelika and Edom indicates the growing petroleum industry in East Texas during the 1940s. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites, from the Old Norwegian Cem near the railroad to the more remote Prairie Springs Cem, documenting the area's diverse early settlement history.
