About this map

Conroe serves as the focal point of this late 1950s survey, illustrating a Montgomery County hub situated at the junction of the Missouri Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads. The town's educational and social infrastructure is well-defined, featuring numerous local schools like the Booker T Washington Sch and the Conroe Normal and Industrial College. The inclusion of purple revisions from 1976 reveals the city's outward expansion beyond the original Conroe Townsite City Boundary into surrounding wooded areas.

The landscape is deeply etched by the winding paths of Little Caney Creek and Stewarts Creek, which drain toward the West Fork San Jacinto River. Significant community spaces are documented on the periphery, including Camp Strake and Camp Martha F Madeley, while the County Airport stands to the northeast. Local history is further preserved through the mapping of Rosewood Cem and the Mims Memorial Ch, providing a detailed look at the rural-urban interface of the Texas Piney Woods era.
