1964 Map of Butler

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Butler sits near the heart of this East Texas survey, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by small rural congregations and water management. Several small lakes and impoundments including Indian Creek Lake, Red Lake, and Burleson Lake pattern the terrain, suggesting a reliance on local water storage for agriculture and recreation. The social fabric of the era is preserved through numerous family and community landmarks, from Butler High Sch to a network of country churches like Waymon Chapel, Owens Chapel, and Pilgrim Rest Ch. To the east, the Trinity River forms the natural boundary between Freestone and Anderson counties, where the bottomlands of the Gaston Branch and Saline Branch meet the river's edge. This 1960s mapping captures a transition in the region's land use, showing the Daniel Memorial Childrens Home and various cemeteries like Sand Hill Cem that ground the local genealogy of this pocket of the Post Oak Savannah.
