1965 Map of Corsicana

About this map

The railroad hub of Corsicana serves as the focal point of this Navarro County landscape, where the Southern Pacific and St Louis Southwestern lines intersect with the Chicago Fort Worth and Denver Rock Island and Pacific. This junction supported a diverse mid-century economy ranging from the Oil Field operations south of town to the Claypit near the Corporate Boundary. Educational and social institutions are well-documented, including Navarro College and the Twilight Home. To the southeast, Lake Halbert provides a major water feature and recreational space with its dedicated Picnic Area and nearby Fleming Boys Camp. Rural life outside the city is marked by family-named landmarks and smaller communities such as Mildred, Pickett, and Angus, alongside several resting places like the Hamilton Beeman Cem and Woodland Cem.
