1960 Map of Goodlow Park

About this map

Chambers Creek defines the southwestern drainage of this 1960 landscape, where the local petroleum economy is evident through several Oil Wells and associated Sludge Pits. The map documents a predominantly rural and agricultural layout in Navarro County, characterized by small communities like Rural Shade and Round Prairie. Transportation and infrastructure are represented by a network of local roads connecting these points with the town of Kerens and the residential area of Goodlow Park. For those researching family history, the map provides precise locations for the Petersburg Cem and Alligator Cem, along with the Alligator Ch. Numerous waterways, including Rush Creek, Indian Creek, and Alligator Creek, wind through the terrain, illustrating the natural water system before modern land alterations became more widespread in the region.
