1957 Map of Elk

About this map

Meier Settlement and Hallsburg anchor this mid-century survey of the rural landscape east of Waco, where small community centers are defined by their churches and family cemeteries. The terrain is deeply etched by the drainage systems of Tradinghouse Creek and Riggs Creek, which feed into localized water bodies like New Lake Mart and Battle Lake. Transportation corridors play a central role in the area's layout, with the Missouri Pacific and the Texas and New Orleans railroads cutting through the countryside. Cultural landmarks of the era are visible in the placement of St Josephs Ch, Bethlehem Ch, and the Waco Motorcycle Club, illustrating a transition from traditional agrarian centers to more modern recreational and social gathering points.
