1966 Map of Oletha

About this map

Steele Creek and its many tributaries, including Willow Creek and Heads Creek, dominate this central Texas landscape near the border of Limestone and Robertson counties. The mapping reveals a rural economy shaped by a network of Gas Wells and several Borrow Pit excavations, alongside small rural settlements such as Oletha and Headsville. Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Ebenezer Cem, Ferguson Cem, and Pace Cem, which are scattered throughout the ranching and resource-extraction lands. An Indefinite Boundary and the prominent county line provide interesting jurisdictional details for historical researchers, while the crisscrossing Pipeline corridors illustrate the developing energy infrastructure of the mid-1960s.
