1962 Map of Chances Store

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Brazos River carves a winding path through the bottomlands of Burleson and Brazos Counties, defining a landscape shaped by oxbows and shifting watercourses. The presence of Old River, Butler Bayou, and Middle Bayou illustrates the dynamic nature of this fluvial system, where former river channels remain as distinct markers of the area's hydrology. Local commerce and community life are anchored by landmarks such as Fosters Store and Chances Store, while the spiritual and educational geography is traced through country churches and schools like Pleasant Grove Ch, Dabner Hill Ch, and the Jones High Sch. On the eastern edge, the growth of College Station and the industrial-academic footprint of the Texas A & M University Research Annex contrast with the agricultural character of nearby Grant and the scattered rural cemeteries like Newsome Cem.
