1956 Map of Jonesboro

About this map

Leon River drainage patterns and the crossing of the Hamilton Co Coryell Co line define this mid-century rural landscape. Small rural centers like Ireland and Levita serve as focal points for a scattered farming and ranching community, while Jonesboro sits at the northeastern edge of the sheet. The disappearance of earlier transit networks is visible in the prominent Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the terrain, indicating a shift away from rail dependency by the late 1950s. Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped family and community burial grounds, including the Willy Grubb Cemetery, Edwards Cemetery, and Evergreen Cemetery. Nearby, the Bethel Ch and various Caliche Pits (Aban'd) suggest the local social and industrial activity of the period, situated among the headwaters of Mustang Creek and Plum Creek.
