1962 Map of Plantersville

About this map

Plantersville sits at the intersection of early Texas commerce and transit along the boundary of Grimes and Montgomery Counties. By the early 1960s, this landscape was defined by its railroad infrastructure, where the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe and the Missouri Pacific lines converge. Small settlements like Dobbin and Bobville appear as critical hubs for the local economy, while an Old Railroad Grade further south indicates the shifting patterns of transportation in the piney woods.
