1959 Map of Ferguson Crossing

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Navasota River meanders through the central corridor of this landscape, defining the boundary between Brazos and Grimes Counties during the late 1950s. The area is characterized by a dense network of water features, including oxbow formations like Tonkaway Lake and Brushy Lake, and numerous named tributaries such as Wickson, Carters, and Peach Creek. Human settlement is sparse and concentrated near the historical Ferguson Crossing, with land use patterns indicated by the presence of a Rodeo Ground and scattered Gravel Pits. The topography reveals a rural Texas environment where natural springs like Sulphur Spring and Lamb Spring provided essential water sources. Genealogists may find interest in the Peach Creek Cem located in the southern portion of the quadrangle, reflecting the small community hubs that anchored this riverine region before further modern development.
