1960 Map of Carlos

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Carlos and Piedmont anchor this mid-century survey of the Grimes County landscape, captured just as the region began a period of hydrological transformation. The map reveals a transition from traditional land use to resource extraction, with multiple Quarries and a Gravel Pit scattered across the terrain. Remnants of earlier infrastructure are clearly visible, including an Old Railroad Grade and a newer Pipeline cutting through the wooded hills. Waterways like Gibbons Creek and Peach Creek wind through the topography, which includes areas designated as subject to controlled inundation. Local heritage is preserved through the mapping of small community hubs, such as Blue Lake Ch and Anderson Grove Ch, alongside several family and community burial grounds including Allen Cem, Renford Cem, and Six Flock Cem. A small Airstrip near the center of the sheet reflects the evolving transit needs of this rural Texas corridor.
