About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad corridor anchors this survey of eastern Ellis County, cutting a straight diagonal through the landscape past Alma and toward Rice. On the western edge of the sheet, the Ennis townsite expands toward the Ennis Corporate Limit, revealing community landmarks such as the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs Home and St Johns church.

Beyond the urban center, the land transitions into a network of creek drainages including Village Creek and Cottonwood Creek. Small rural gatherings like Telico and Ensign are documented alongside vital family and social centers like Redwine Cem, Colmerneil Ch, and Central High Sch. This landscape shows the evolution of local infrastructure in the early 1960s, featuring everything from a Drive-in Theater near the main highway to a Gravel Pit and scattered rural settlements like Creechville and Sonoma.
