1961 Map of Hearne South

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The confluence of the Brazos River and the Little Brazos River creates a wide, fertile floodplain south of Hearne, where 1960s agriculture and early 1980s expansion are visible through photorevised updates. The Southern Pacific Railroad acts as a central spine through the landscape, connecting settlements like Sutton and Mumford to the regional hub at Hearne. This map records a landscape shaped by both the river and the rail, including distinct community nodes at Tatsie Crossing and Nicholas. For the family historian, the sheet is particularly valuable for its detail on local institutions, including Union Chapel, Wilson Chapel, and cemeteries such as St Luke Cem and Galloway Cem. Terrain features like Suggs Mountain rise above the alluvial plains, while the presence of Gravel Pits and numerous storage bins along the rail lines highlights the local extraction and agricultural economy of the era.
