1962 Map of Hammond

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroads anchor the rural landscape of Robertson County in the early 1960s, cutting through a mosaic of small farming communities and creek drainages. The settlement of Hammond serves as a focal point, supported by the Hammond High Sch and nearby Bethlehem Ch and Bethlehem Cem. The area’s geography is defined by the winding course of the Brazos River and its associated Brazos River Diversion Channel, which separate the floodplains from the higher prairie ground where several country churches, including Shiloh Ch and Morning Star Ch, provided social centers for dispersed families. A network of minor waterways like Walnut Creek and Bee Branch feed into the river system, while local industry is represented by a Gravel Pit and numerous pipelines that traverse the terrain alongside established settlements like Beacon and Tidwell Prairie.
