1984 Map of Corrigan

About this map

The town of Corrigan serves as the primary hub of this East Texas corridor, centered at the intersection of the Southern Pacific railroad and major highways. The map reveals a landscape defined by its timber and rail history, with the railroad line stretching south through Moscow toward Bering. Local genealogy is well-represented by several family-named burial grounds, including Burch Cem, Watts and Jones Cem, and Taylor Cem, which are scattered among the drainages of Bear Creek and Dry Creek. Rural life is anchored by community landmarks such as Shiloh Ch and Pine Hill Ch, while industrial activity is noted by Gravel Pits and various pipelines. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of seasonal and perennial streams like Brushy Creek and Kennedy Creek, which feed into the larger river systems of the region. This 1984 edition provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure and land use prior to significant modern development.
