About this map

Middleton and the surrounding rural landscape of eastern Leon County are defined by a network of creeks and small family-named landmarks during the mid-1960s. The settlement pattern is characterized by country crossroads and community hubs like Guys Store and Spillers Store, which anchor the surrounding farmsteads. The spiritual and social life of the era is evident in the numerous country churches and associated burial grounds, including Mount Airy Ch, New Salem Cem, and the Thomason Cem.

Bound by the Trinity River to the southeast, the terrain is carved by substantial drainage systems such as Lower Keechi Creek and Boggy Creek. This survey also captures the local industrial and agricultural footprint, from a Gravel Pit near the river to the Oil Well and Flowing Well located in the uplands. Fine dashed lines across the sheet indicate fence lines, providing a detailed look at land division and property boundaries before more modern development altered the rural character of the region.
