About this map

Geronimo and the small settlements of Galle and Lauback define this rural landscape in central Texas during the mid-1960s. The area is characterized by a network of creeks, including York Creek, Alligator Creek, and Geronimo Creek, which are supported by several controlled inundation areas marked by spillways at varying elevations. This water management system indicates the agricultural and flood-control priorities of the era.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of family-named landmarks and community hubs. The presence of San Juan Cem, Zorn Cem, and Jechow Cem, along with the Navarro Sch, provides a clear picture of the early community structure. Industrial and transit lines are anchored by the Southern Pacific railroad in the southeast corner and prominent terrain features like Harborth Hill and the Mill Creek Hills.
