1964 Map of Elwood

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Trinity River waters dominate the eastern edge of this 1964 survey, where the landscape is marked by the impending arrival of Lake Livingston. The map captures a moment of transition for the Madison and Leon county line, showing areas designated for controlled inundation up to the 135-foot contour. In the center, the community of Elwood and the nearby Old Elwood reflect a shifting local geography, while Alphin Cem and Wilson Chapel provide anchor points for genealogists tracing family histories in the area. The terrain is a network of small watercourses like Larrison Creek and Cobb Creek that feed into the river basin. Cultural landmarks such as the Tan Yard and the Community Building sit alongside evidence of industry, including scattered Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit. The historic Osr road cuts through the western portion, serving as a primary corridor through this creek-fed ranching and timber country.
