About this map

Butler serves as a central hub in this mid-1960s survey, situated where the landscape begins its descent toward the Trinity River floodplains. The community is anchored by the Butler High School and a nearby Roadside Park, reflecting a period of established rural infrastructure. To the north, the settlement of Sand Hill and its namesake Sand Hill Church and Sand Hill Cemetery mark the higher ground above the creek drainages.

The presence of the Daniel Memorial WT Childrens Home in the eastern portion of the quadrangle highlights a specific pocket of social history. The terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the winding Saline Branch and the large impoundments of Red Lake and Indian Creek Lake. Numerous rural sanctuaries such as Wayman Chapel and Pilgrim Rest Church Pine Hill Church are scattered across the landscape, providing essential touchpoints for genealogists tracing family roots through this portion of the Texas interior.
