1962 Map of Chances Store

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Brazos River meanders along the border of Brazos and Burleson counties, defining a landscape of fertile bottoms and winding waterways. This area, surveyed in 1962 with later revisions, shows a rural economy centered on local hubs like Chances Store and Fosters Store. To the northwest, the Texas A & M University Research Annex occupies a significant tract of land near the river bend, while the small settlement of Grant sits further west. The topography is largely defined by numerous bayous and creeks, including Butler Bayou and Middle Bayou, which create a complex drainage pattern through the low-lying terrain. Scattered rural institutions like Jones High Sch and Newsome Cem provide valuable evidence of mid-century community life. The presence of a Gravel Pit and a Radio Tower near Silver Hill highlights the gradual introduction of industrial and communications infrastructure into this riverine environment.
