1964 Map of Granger

About this map

Granger serves as the focal point of this Central Texas landscape, situated at the confluence of agricultural prairie and the winding river bottom. The map captures a significant period of transformation as the San Gabriel River corridor is reshaped by the rising waters of Granger Lake. This transition is most evident in the southeast, where the river valley begins to broaden into the lake's basin near Waterloo. Local history is deeply embedded in the rural infrastructure, particularly through the numerous family and community burial grounds such as Sloan-Easley Cem, Gardner Cem, and Macedonia Cem. The presence of the Crispus Attucks Sch in Granger highlights the educational history of the town. Multiple watercourses, including Willis Creek, Yankee Branch, and Pecan Creek, define the drainage patterns that once supported the area's farming economy before the mid-century hydrological changes.
