1961 Map of Grandview

About this map

The Missouri Kansas Texas railroad anchors the central corridor of this North Texas landscape, passing directly through the community of Grandview. This 1961 field-checked survey reveals a rural society structured around watercourses and small local centers, with Antioch and Barnesville serving as notable landmarks in the surrounding countryside. The drainage system of the Chambers Creek forks, including North Fork Chambers Creek and Middle Fork Chambers Creek, dictates the topography and creates a network of wooded creek bottoms. Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family and community burial sites across the quadrangle, from the Old Hill Cem near the town center to more rural locations like Antioch Rest Cem, Oakland Cem, and Boatright Cem. The map also details early utility infrastructure such as a Substation and the rural Greenbrier Ch, providing a clear look at the area's development before modern suburban expansion.
