1961 Map of Howth

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Brazos River forms a sweeping meander in the northwest corner of this 1960s survey, marking the boundary between Washington and Waller Counties. This rural landscape is defined by the Southern Pacific railroad line, which runs north-south through the settlement of Howth. The area's social history is recorded through several small communities and their spiritual centers, including Rock Island with its associated Rock Island Ch and Rock Island Cem, and Second Corinth. A network of creeks like Donahoe Creek and Sandy Creek drain the wooded terrain toward the river bottom. Numerous Gravel Pit operations near the rail line indicate the local extraction industry of the era, while scattered landmarks such as Brown College and the Salem Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogical research and local history mapping.
