1957 Map of Groesbeck
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
The Navasota River cuts through this Central Texas landscape, which served as a vital transportation corridor for the Burlington Rock Island and T & N O Southern Pacific System railroads. This survey, reprinted for civil use in 1957 from 1919 military data, captures the rural network of post offices and schools that once anchored the county. Significant landmarks include the Reunion Grounds and the Honest Ridge School, while the northern portion is dominated by the Tehuacana Hills. Small communities like Springfield, Kirk, and Ben Hur appear alongside numerous post offices such as Datura P.O. and Frosa P.O.. The map provides a look at a time when small-scale rural infrastructure was still densely mapped, showing the relationship between elevation features like Horn Hill and the seasonal flow of creeks such as Christmas Creek and Cedar Creek.
