About this map

Greenville serves as the focal point for this Hunt County survey, showing the city's complex rail hub and water management system in the early 1960s. The city's grid is dense with civic infrastructure, including Washington Sch, Travis Sch, and the Court House. A series of water works, notably Greenville Reservoir No 4 and Greenville Reservoir No 5, flank the western edge of town near the Filtration Plant. This era records the transition of regional transportation, where the St Louis Southwestern and Missouri Kansas And Texas lines intersect near an Old Railroad Grade.

Rural life outside the city limits is anchored by small communities like Jacobia and Neylandville, and smaller settlements such as Tidwell. and Peniel. Historical sites for genealogists are scattered throughout the landscape, including Old Concord Ch and several burial grounds like East Mount Cem and Hopkins No 1 Cem. The terrain is defined by the winding Cowleech Fork Sabine River and its tributaries, such as Wolf Creek and Horse Creek, which dictate the placement of local roads and farmsteads.
