1963 Map of Kirvin

About this map

The railroad community of Kirvin and the surrounding Freestone County countryside are documented here during a period of infrastructure modernization. The Burlington Northern railroad corridor serves as the primary north-south axis, connecting local interests with the regional shipping network. The map reveals a landscape defined by an extensive network of small rural churches and family cemeteries, which provide critical data for genealogical research. Notable sites include Cade Chapel, Tehuacana Grove Ch, and the Cedar Grove Cem. The hydrology of the region is dominated by Tehuacana Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Tehuacana Creek and Grindstone Creek, which carve through the terrain. Evidence of local industry is sparse but present, such as the Gravel Pit located near the center of the survey area.
