1962 Map of Bryan West

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Little Brazos River winds through this Central Texas landscape, defining a rural-to-urban transition as the western edge of Bryan begins to expand. In the early 1960s, this area remained largely defined by its rail connections and educational institutions, most notably the Texas A & M University Research Annex situated in the southwestern corner. Two major rail lines, the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific, cut across the terrain, serving small communities like Smetana and Benchley on the Robertson and Brazos county line. The map reveals a deeply rooted local history through its numerous family and community landmarks, including the Rest-Ever Memorial Cem, Henry Cem, and Santa Teresa Ch. From the wooded banks of Thompsons Creek to the Gravel Pits along Old Hearne Road, the sheet documents a working landscape of agriculture and early suburban growth.
