1957 Map of Irene

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The borderlands between Navarro and Hill counties are defined by a complex network of tributaries and protective engineering in this mid-century survey. Major drainage systems like Richland Creek and White Rock Creek dominate the terrain, notably marked by extensive Levee systems designed to manage the bottomlands. The settlement of Irene serves as a northern anchor along the Missouri Pacific railroad, while an Old Railroad Grade to the south traces a superseded transportation path across the prairie. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, highlighted by family and community landmarks like Salem Cem, Antioch Ch, and the settlement of Pelham. This 1957 landscape illustrates a late stage of the regional rail-and-creek economy before modern highway development further altered the distribution of small Texas prairie towns like Emmett and Brushie Prairie.
