1962 Map of Gause

About this map

The confluence of the Little River and the Brazos River anchors this landscape along the border of Robertson and Milam Counties. The settlement of Gause sits prominently along the Missouri Pacific rail line, serving as a focal point for local transport and commerce. The topography is defined by the distinct elevations of Sugarloaf Mountain and Long Mountain, which rise above the surrounding creek drainages. Historical community landmarks are scattered throughout the countryside, including Stephen Chapel, Tidwell Sch, and Mt Tabor Ch. The map reveals a rural economy rooted in land and water, with features like Gravel Pits and numerous flowing wells. Burial grounds such as Nashville Cem and Armstrong Cem provide essential data points for genealogical research, while the proximity of Valley Junction highlights the importance of the regional rail network during the early 1960s.
