1951 Map of Grapeland

About this map

Grapeland sits at the northern edge of this Houston County landscape, where the rail line and a prominent Water Tank anchor the local economy during the mid-century. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small family cemeteries and rural congregations, reflecting the dispersed agricultural settlement patterns of East Texas. To the south, the community of Latexo is served by the Latexo Sch, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with spiritual centers such as Ephesus Ch and Union Chapel.
