1961 Map of Hearne South

About this map

Hearne stands as a significant rail hub where the Missouri Pacific and Southern Pacific lines converge, shaping the economic landscape of this Robertson County region in the early 1960s. The map reveals a transition from the urban grid of the town to the broad alluvial plains between the Brazos River and the Little Brazos River. This fertile corridor is dotted with small agricultural settlements and rail stops like Sutton, Mumford, and Tatsie, many of which grew around river crossings such as Tatsie Crossing.
