1960 Map of Groesbeck

About this map

Groesbeck serves as the focal point of this Limestone County landscape, centered on the intersection of the Southern Pacific railroad and the Navasota River drainage system. The map documents a significant intersection of local history and recreation at Fort Parker State Park, which encompasses Springfield Lake and several sites of high genealogical value. These include Springfield Cem and the Fort Parker Memorial Cem, alongside the Fort Parker (Historical) site. The rural surroundings are dotted with community landmarks like Round Prairie Sch and Washington High School, while the eastern portion of the quadrangle shows smaller settlements such as Doyle and churches like Canaan Chapel. Industrial activity is noted through Gravel Pits and a series of pipelines traversing the terrain between Frost Creek and Baines Creek.
