1959 Map of Millican

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The confluence of the Brazos River and Navasota River anchor this late 1950s survey of the Brazos Valley, a landscape defined by its heavy rail infrastructure and river-bottom agriculture. The community of Millican sits at a major rail intersection, where the Southern Pacific and Texas and New Orleans lines converge. This area shows a transition from the upland wooded terrain around Brooks Chapel to the wide, meandering floodplains of the Big Creek drainage system. Along the river, landmarks like Hidalgo Falls and the Broken Dam provide specific navigational points for researchers of the local waterways. Settlement patterns follow the steel, with small stations and siding stops like Nelleva, Dinkins, and Cawthon marking the Missouri Pacific and Southern Pacific routes. The presence of several family-named burial grounds, including Weaver Cem and Barker Cem, offers valuable data for genealogical mapping in this corner of Brazos County.
