1961 Map of Lincoln

About this map

The confluence of Middle Yegua Creek and West Yegua Creek defines this rural landscape in Lee County, where agricultural field lines are intricately mapped alongside numerous gravel extractions. The settlement of Lincoln serves as a central hub, situated near an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to the changing transportation priorities of the early 1960s. Further southeast, the Southern Pacific line remains active, passing near Loebau and the former Loebau Siding (Site). The map is particularly rich for genealogists, detailing several family and community landmarks such as St Peters Cem, Evergreen Cem, and New Bethel Cem. Education and faith are anchored at sites like Doak Spring Sch and the Smith Chapel, while the distinctive Buzzard Knobs provide a prominent topographic reference point amidst the network of creeks and hollows.
