USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
Hempstead serves as a critical rail hub in the early 1960s, situated at the junction of several Southern Pacific lines. The town’s grid is clearly defined, reaching from Calvert St and Lafayette St down toward the Cemetery and County Fairground. The surrounding Waller County countryside is a mix of agricultural land and industrial activity, most notably the Raccoon Bend Oil Field situated in a large loop of the Brazos River.
