1965 Map of Cookville

About this map

The St Louis Southwestern railroad corridor defines the central development of this East Texas landscape, connecting the primary settlements of Cookville and Omaha. This mid-1960s survey captures a rural environment structured by its creek systems, where Boggy Creek and its various forks such as Little Boggy Creek and Okry Creek wind through the terrain. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting numerous rural meeting points and resting places like Mt Moriah Ch, Pleasant Grove Ch, and several family or community burial grounds including Keith Cem and Barrier Cem. Small-scale industry is evidenced by a Gravel Pit near the eastern edge, while the transition between Titus and Morris counties is clearly delineated as it bisects smaller communities like Lone Star and Center Grove.
