1966 Map of Farrar

About this map

The Navasota River and its intricate drainage network define this 1966 topography along the Limestone and Freestone county line. In a period of quiet rural character, the landscape is marked by small settlements like Fair Oaks, Farrar, and New Hope, which serve as the primary hubs for this agricultural and ranching region. The presence of family and community landmarks, such as Oaks Cem and Holt Cem, suggests a long-standing pattern of local settlement. While much of the land is dedicated to watercourses like Big Creek and Sanders Creek, a single Gas Well in the central portion of the sheet points to early industrial exploration in the area. The map also records several small waterways including Sassafras Branch and Pear Creek, alongside the artificial Kennedy Lake, illustrating how the local geography was adapted for resource management.
