About this map

The growing urban corridor between Bryan and College Station dominates the southwestern quadrant of this survey, revealing the expansion of residential and commercial districts like the Townshire Shopping Center and Ridgecrest Shopping Center. While the cities expand along the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroad lines, the eastern half of the map remains largely rural, defined by the winding course of Wickson Creek and Carters Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous community landmarks, including the historic site of Boonville (New Liberty Ch) and the Allen Academy. The landscape is dotted with family-named burial grounds such as Kizer Cem and Mt Olive Cem, alongside established institutions like St Joseph Sch and Roans Chapel. Industrial and recreational features including Coulter Field and the Briarcrest Country Club illustrate the region's mid-century development.
