1957 Map of Gholson

About this map

The Brazos River winds through this central Texas landscape, defining a region where agricultural land meets the wooded breaks of several major tributaries. In the mid-20th century, the community of Gholson served as a local hub, supported by the Gholson Sch and Gholson Cem. The survey reveals a high density of rural religious and burial sites, including Wesley Chapel, Zion Hill Ch, and the Chalk Bluff Ch, suggesting a deeply rooted community structure along the river valley.
