1957 Map of Chilton
USGS Topo · Published 1993About this map
Chilton serves as the focal point of this Central Texas landscape, situated along the Southern Pacific Railroad as it transited through Falls County. The map reveals a diversified agricultural and industrial environment, from the Fish Hatchery near Golinda in the north to the Deer Creek Oil Field in the south, where numerous oil and drill holes pepper the terrain. Rural community life is anchored by landmarks like the Little Deer Creek Ch and the Cedar Valley Cem near Cedar Valley. The drainage system is dominated by the winding course of Cow Bayou and the prominent Brazos R along the eastern margin. Topography is marked by a series of levees protecting low-lying areas, while gravel extraction near Satin and Gravel Pits highlights the local mineral economy of the mid-20th century.
