About this map

The Brazos River carves a dramatic path through southern Young County in this 1924 survey, defining the landscape with its sharp meanders at Gooseneck Bend, Salem Bend, and Herron Bend. At the heart of this region, Graham is shown with its grid of streets and early development, anchored by the Chicago Rock Island and Gulf railroad. This map is particularly valuable for family historians, as it documents the exact placement of rural landmarks like the Gooseneck Cem, Flat Rock School, and the community of Bunger.

River crossings were vital for commerce in the mid-1920s, evidenced by the Gooseneck Bridge, Caseyville Crossing, and a specific Toll Bridge further downstream. The survey also captures industrial and agrarian settlements like Upham and Gosden, situated against the elevation of Haynes Mountain and the Dobbs Hills. These details reflect a moment before modern infrastructure altered the flow of local life in North Texas.
