1961 Map of Grandview

About this map

The Missouri Kansas Texas railroad line bisects this portion of North Texas, anchoring the community of Grandview. This 1960s survey, with late 1970s updates, documents a landscape shaped by the numerous branches of the Chambers Creek system, including the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork. The map serves as a detailed record for genealogists, identifying family-linked sites such as Boatright Cem and Old Hill Cem, alongside rural focal points like Antioch and the Barnesville Ch. Near the northern edge, Lake Alvarado marks the local drainage into Turkey Creek, while the southern reaches cross the Johnson Co Hill Co line. The settlement pattern reflects the late 20th-century transition of this agricultural region, where established churches and cemeteries remained the primary landmarks between expanding transport corridors.
