1960 Map of Lyons

About this map

The town of Lyons and the surrounding drainage of Davidson Creek define this rural landscape in Burleson County during the mid-twentieth century. Settlement patterns follow the elevated ground between the creek bottoms, with small communities and family-named cemeteries scattered across the terrain. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including the Pillow Cem, High Prairie Cem, and Lawrence Cem, which reflect the area's agricultural heritage. Small-scale industry is represented by a Gravel Pit and a prominent Pipeline corridor that cuts across the land. The presence of Lone Oak Ch and Center Line indicates a community structured around rural intersections and watercourses like Sandy Creek and Berry Creek. This survey captures the region as it transitioned with updated woodland data from the early 1980s, providing a layered look at the changing vegetation patterns near Rough Bayou.
