1962 Map of Bryan East

About this map

Bryan and College Station reveal a period of rapid mid-century expansion in this Brazos County study, where urban growth is clearly visible in the purple-tinted revisions. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Missouri Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads, which helped anchor the development of landmarks like Coulter Field and several shopping centers including Townshire Shopping Center and Ridgecrest Shopping Center. Beyond the municipal boundaries, the rural character remains intact with small settlements like Boonville and Steep Hollow. Numerous community focal points are documented, ranging from the Mt Calvary Cem to rural congregations such as Macedonia Ch and Koons Chapel. The hydrology of the area is led by Wickson Creek and Carters Creek, winding through a terrain dotted with family-named infrastructure like Dilly Shaw Road and Carrabba Road.
