About this map

Kenney and Phillipsburg serve as the primary hubs of activity in this 1960s rural landscape along the boundary of Washington and Austin counties. The local economy is defined by its intersection of rail and resource extraction, with the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad cutting through a terrain dotted with a Gravel Pit, Borrow Pit, and Claypit.

Family and community heritage is deeply rooted here, evidenced by several small burial grounds such as Pfeffer Cem, Montgomery Cem, and Kachele Cem. Local education and faith centers, including the Kenney-New Wehdem Sch and Gilbert Chapel, anchor the small settlements. A complex network of waterways, including Caney Creek and Buffalo Creek, defines the drainage of these rolling hills, which are further traversed by a modern Pipeline.
