1950 Map of Elgin
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Elgin serves as the central hub of this 1950 survey, where the convergence of the Missouri Pacific RR and Southern Pacific RR anchors the local economy. To the east, the industrial landscape of Butler is defined by its Brickyards, while the sprawling Camp Swift Military Reservation dominates the southeastern quadrant. This era captures a rural Texas landscape densely populated with small agrarian communities and family landmarks, evidenced by the numerous country schools and cemeteries such as Youngs Prairie Cem and Red Town Sch.
