1961 Map of Lincoln

About this map

Middle Yegua Creek and West Yegua Creek converge in this central Texas landscape, defining a network of drainage branches and hollows. The settlement of Lincoln serves as a local hub near the Old Railroad Grade, while the Southern Pacific railroad cuts through the southeast corner at Loebau Siding (Site). The era's rural life is visible through scattered community landmarks like Doat Spring Sch, St Johns Sch, and numerous country churches such as New Bethel Ch and Smith Chapel. Significant gravel extraction is evident from the concentration of Gravel Pits north of Lincoln. Local family names are preserved in features like Molly Smith Lake and Gloyds Cem, while the distinct elevation of Buzzard Knobs rises above the surrounding creek valleys.
