1956 Map of Dawson

About this map

Dawson stands as the primary hub in this mid-1950s survey of Navarro County, situated along the St Louis Southwestern railroad line. The landscape is defined by the broad floodplain of Richland Creek and its many tributaries, including Wolf Creek and Post Oak Creek. The map documents a rural transition, notably marking Alliance Hall (Aban'd) and the small settlements of Silver City and Spring Hill. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of the Spring Hill Cem and the Battle Creek Burial Ground Historical Marker, which preserves local history near the banks of Battle Creek. Infrastructure of the era is represented by an active Pipeline, multiple Oil Tanks, and a Pumping Sta, reflecting the importance of the energy industry to this region of North Central Texas.
