1958 Map of Courtney

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The winding Brazos River forms a sharp boundary between Grimes and Washington Counties, its serpentine path defining the fertile bottomlands of Sand Prairie and Beans Prairie. At the time of this 1958 survey, the area south of Navasota was a hub of rail infrastructure, where the Texas and New Orleans and the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroads crisscross the landscape. The settlement of Courtney serves as a focal point near the river, supported by surrounding rural communities like Lynn Grove and West Academy. Genealogical interest is found in the scattered rural landmarks, including the Sand Prairie Cem, Sommerford Cem, and local congregations at Paul Chapel and Mercy Seat Ch. The transition from riverbed to upland is marked by an Artesian Well and several Gas Wells, indicating the mid-century industrial footprint alongside traditional agriculture.
