1960 Map of Bryan

About this map

Bryan serves as the focal point of this Williams County landscape, showing the city's development around the New York Central railroad and a grid of municipal landmarks including City Hall, Lincoln Sch, and Moore Park. The surrounding townships of Pulaski, Center, and Washington are defined by a network of drainage ways like Lick Creek and Little Lick Creek, which wind through a largely agricultural terrain. Outside the city, small rural clusters like Williams Center and Ney anchor the local community, while numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries provide important clues for local history research. Genealogists will find interest in several scattered burial grounds, including Brown Cem, Fetters Cem, and Trinity Cem. The map also documents local infrastructure of the era, from a small Landing Field to several gravel pits and a network of named country roads such as Beerbower Road and Cecil Road.
