About this map

Hubbard serves as a central hub in the mid-1950s, where the St Louis Southwestern RR intersects a landscape defined by small-town infrastructure and agricultural roots. The map reveals a community organized around institutions like the Phyllis Wheatly Sch and Cold Corner Ch, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds such as Mc Lain Cem and Powell Cem.

Water management is prominent through the Hubbard Lakes and its associated Pumping Station Water Tanks, which supported the growing settlement. Evidence of the region's diverse economic interests appears in the southwest near the Navasota River, where an Oil Well and Oil Tank are recorded. This survey captures a moment when the Old Railroad Grade was still a distinct topographic feature, tracing the evolution of transportation through Hill and Navarro counties.
