1961 Map of Mumford

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Brazos River carves a winding path through this central Texas landscape, marking the complex intersection of Milam, Robertson, Burleson, and Brazos counties. Along its banks, the map identifies the Fort Tenoxtitlan (Site), a significant military and colonial outpost established in the early 1830s to control immigration. By the early 1960s, the region’s economy is defined by the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroads, which support a string of small rural communities like Mumford, Astin, and Mudville. The fertile bottomlands are crisscrossed by drainage features such as Red Slough and Sims Slough, while local social life is anchored by country institutions including Salem Ch, New Hope Ch, and the Smith Sch. The presence of a Gravel Pit near Rita and scattered oil or water wells indicates the continued extraction of resources from the river valley.
