1966 Map of Odds

About this map

The rural landscape of the Limestone Co Falls Co border in the mid-1960s is defined by a dense network of winding creeks and small farming settlements. Centered on the community of Odds, the area transitions from the drainage of Big Elm Creek in the north toward the Little Brazos River in the southeast. This map reveals a high density of rural genealogy markers, including several family or community burial grounds like Erskine Cem, Clifton Cem, and Gunter Cem, alongside local spiritual centers such as Locust Grove Ch and Fairview Ch. Evidence of local industry appears in the form of several scattered Quarry sites and Oil Wells near the river, while the oddly named Buffalo Mop and the small cluster at Big Hill provide specific anchors for local historians tracking vanished or evolved Texas hamlets.
