About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad corridor anchors this survey of central Texas, where the town of Flatonia serves as a primary regional hub. The map captures a landscape of transition, preserving the location of Old Flatonia and the Old Flatonia Cem south of the modern town site, alongside the historic Czech settlement of Praha. This area is dense with genealogical markers, including numerous small burial grounds such as the Slavonic Cem, Criswell Cem, and Pine Springs Cem.

Industrial and transport infrastructure is well-defined, showing the Flatonia Airport and a network of gravel extraction sites like the Claypit and several Gravel Pits. Waterways including Mulberry Creek and Rocky Creek wind through the terrain, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped early settlement. The presence of the Douglas Sch and several churches provides a detailed view of the community's social footprint in the mid-1960s.
