1962 Map of Edge

About this map

The community of Edge lies at the heart of this 1960s rural landscape, situated along the border of Robertson and Brazos counties. The map documents a predominantly agrarian region defined by a network of family cemeteries and small rural churches, such as Shiloh Ch and Shiloh Cem. The terrain is deeply incised by watercourses, including Cedar Creek and Devils Jump Creek, which dictated the early settlement patterns and the placement of local thoroughfares like Kings Highway. Small clusters of activity are visible at Eaton and Macey, while larger landholdings like Cavitt Ranch indicate the transition into larger-scale ranching. The presence of multiple burial grounds, including Anderson Cem, Concord Cem, and House Cem, provides a detailed record for genealogists tracing the local families who established these communities before the modern consolidation of rural Texas.
