1967 Map of Graham

About this map

Graham anchors this landscape in the late 1960s, showing a well-established city grid that includes Shawnee Sch and a large central Hospital. To the south, the dramatic meandering of the Brazos River creates distinct landforms like Gooseneck Bend and Herron Bend, as the river flows toward the upper reaches of Possum Kingdom Lake. This survey documents a transition in local infrastructure, noting a prominent Railroad Grade running southwest alongside older landmarks such as the Old Cangyville Crossing. Rural life is marked by several family and community burial grounds, including Oak Grove Cem and Farmer Cem, while the surrounding terrain is defined by Haynes Mountain and the double peaks of Twin Mts. The presence of many oil and gas wells throughout the hills suggests the area's continued reliance on energy production during this era.
