1962 Map of Cryer Creek

About this map

The boundary between Ellis Co and Navarro Co cuts through a landscape defined by the winding course of Chambers Creek and its many tributaries. In the early 1960s, this area remained largely agrarian, with small settlements like Cryer Creek and Rankin serving as local hubs. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the region, where Onion Creek, Mustang Creek, and Mill Creek converge toward the main channel. Evidence of long-standing community life is found in the scattered burial grounds and spiritual centers, including Antonia Ch, Grange Hall Cem, and Antonia Cem.
