1964 Map of Cumby

About this map

Cumby serves as the primary hub in this Texas landscape where the boundaries of Hunt, Delta, and Hopkins counties converge. Recorded in the mid-1960s, the map reveals a rural economy organized around the St Louis Southwestern railroad line and the newly established Interstate 30, which cuts a straight path through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Smaller rural centers like Ridgeway and Branom are tied together by a network of unimproved roads and fence lines, suggesting a territory still deeply rooted in agriculture.
