1925 Map of Graham 4-c

About this map

The confluence of the Brazos River and Clear Fork anchors this landscape in the mid-1920s, a period when rural school districts and family-named landmarks defined the social geography of Young County. The map reveals an intricate network of river crossings and historical transit routes, including the Old Military Road and multiple river fords like the Old Ware Crossing and Old South Bend Crossing. These features, alongside the Old Toll Road Crossing, highlight a reliance on seasonal river levels before modern bridges fully tamed the local waterways.
