1960 Map of Grays Prairie
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Grays Prairie and the surrounding Kaufman County landscape are defined by a network of winding waterways, including Big Cottonwood Creek, Kings Creek, and Bois d'Arc Creek. This 1960s perspective shows the area prior to significant modern development, anchored by small rural centers such as Lively, Stubbs, and Coney. Local history is centered around landmarks like the Grays Prairie Cem and Shady Grove Ch, which served as the social and spiritual hubs for the dispersed farming community. The Southern Pacific tracks cut across the northeastern corner of the sheet, providing a vital rail link through this prairie terrain. The map also delineates the extensive boundaries of the Tarrant County Water Control and Improvement District No. 1, illustrating the region's managed approach to water resources and agriculture during the mid-twentieth century.
