1962 Map of Magnolia West

About this map

The community of Magnolia and the rural junction of Fetzer anchor this landscape along the border of Waller, Montgomery, and Grimes counties. This 1962 topographic record, updated through 1979, illustrates a region defined by its waterway networks, including Mill Creek, Walnut Creek, and Birch Creek. Early transportation patterns are evident in the Missouri Pacific rail line and a stretch of Old RR Grade to the north, suggesting the evolution of regional logging or transit routes over time. Local life and history are grounded in features like the Old Sanders Cem and the Assembly of God Ch, while industrial activity is noted by several Gravel Pit sites and an Oil Well. A Racetrack and the Lookout Tower Magnolia stand as distinctive local landmarks within this varied terrain of creek gullies and woodland plots.
