1972 Map of Mexia

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Big Flat Creek and its many meandering tributaries, including Bradley Mill Creek and Holly Mill Cr, dominate the northern drainage of this Monroe County landscape. This early 1970s topography highlights a rural economy defined by timber and transit, with the St Louis-San Francisco railroad cutting north-south through the center of the sheet. Small communities like Fountain, Hixon, and Perdue Hill are connected by a network of light-duty and unimproved roads, while the Hixon Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark on the high ground between Limestone Creek and the rail line. To the southeast, the village of Mexia serves as a local hub near the Victoria Ch, illustrating the traditional southern settlement pattern of small church-centered communities and family-named watercourses.
