About this map

The town of Montgomery serves as the focal point for this 1959 survey, situated at the intersection of the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad and several primary roads. The surrounding landscape is defined by the dense woodlands of the Sam Houston National Forest to the north and east, where an Old Railroad Grade and several creeks, such as Sand Branch and Little Lake Creek, carve through the timberland.

Community life is mapped through several localized landmarks, including Lincoln Sch and the Montgomery Cem. Rural congregations and family-associated locations like China Chapel, Brownwood Ch, and Mt Pleasant Ch are scattered across the terrain, alongside smaller water features like Lake Mount Pleasant and Stewart Lake. The transition between the established town and the managed forest boundaries reveals a network of private access points and agricultural holdings like the Circle V Ranch.
