About this map

Oglesby serves as the primary hub in this late 1950s survey of the Coryell and McLennan county border. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Leon River and its numerous tributaries, including Coryell Creek and Greenbriar Creek. This era captures the transition of regional transportation, showing the St Louis Southwestern railroad active through town alongside an Old Railroad Grade further south.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the rural landmarks scattered throughout the hills, from Pecan Grove Ch and Coryell Ch to several family and community burial grounds like Blackfoot Cem and Lamb Cem. The inclusion of the Midway Drug Strip and various Borrow Pits reflects the mid-century infrastructure and local recreation patterns of this Texas ranching and farming district.
