About this map

Hubbard stands as the central hub of this mid-century survey, situated at the junction of the St Louis Southwestern RR and an Old Railroad Grade. The town is well-documented with municipal landmarks including a Po, a Substation, and the Phyllis Wheatly Sch. Beyond the town grid, the landscape transitions into a network of small watercourses like Turkey Creek and Post Oak Creek, eventually feeding into the Navasota River.

Rural life is defined by a series of country churches and family burial grounds, such as New Hope Ch, Bowman Ch, and the Pin Oak Cem. The survey highlights the early infrastructure of the region, noting a Pumping Station Water Tanks at Hubbard Lakes and scattered industrial markers like a lone Oil Well and Pipeline. This map captures a specific moment of transition where traditional rail transport met the emerging utility and water management needs of the Texas Blackland Prairies.
