1962 Map of Milano

About this map

The rail junction at Milano serves as the primary hub in this corner of Milam County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses and early-1960s energy exploration. Numerous Oil Wells are scattered across the terrain, indicating the mid-century industrial footprint near the Milam Co Burleson Co line. Rural life centers on landmarks like Sand Grove Ch and Friendship Ch, while genealogists will find the locations of Sand Point Cem and Hurt Cem essential for tracing local family histories. The physical geography is complex, carved by branches and creeks such as Yellow Rabbit Creek and Sugar Mill Branch, which flow toward the southern boundary. This edition also highlights the Newton Lakes and the small community of Elevation, capturing the transition from traditional agricultural land use to more intensive resource extraction during the postwar era.
