1956 Map of Ohio

About this map

Ohio sits near the crossing of Cowhouse Creek, serving as a central point in this mid-century rural landscape along the Hamilton and Coryell County line. The map captures a transition in local infrastructure, most notably the presence of an Old Railroad Grade in the northeast and several discontinued community hubs like St Pauls Sch and Liberty Sch. These abandoned schools, alongside St Pauls Ch, Live Oak Ch, and the Live Oak Cem, provide significant markers for genealogists tracing family footprints in this central Texas region. Water crossings were clearly vital to local travel, evidenced by named landmarks such as Ballard Crossing, Slab Crossing, and Jeffries Bridge. The terrain is further defined by the drainage systems of Mustang Creek, Plum Creek, and the Dry Fork.
