1962 Map of Petteway

About this map

Petteway and White Rock serve as the primary hubs in this rural landscape spanning the Limestone and Robertson County line. The settlement pattern is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Big Sandy Creek and Hurricane Creek, which carve through the terrain. Local social life is anchored by community landmarks such as Petteway Church and Walnut Church, alongside the Post Oak School. The presence of a Gravel Pit and several gas wells indicates the modest industrial activity of the early 1960s, while numerous fence lines and small reservoirs like Abraham Lake illustrate the area's agricultural character. This topography reflects a moment before significant modern development, where small timbered tracts and creeks like Mill Creek dictated the placement of homesteads and local roads.
