1962 Map of Reagan

About this map

The Brazos River forms a serpentine southwestern boundary for this agricultural landscape, where the seasonal hydrology of Wild Horse Slough and Highbank Slough dictates the local geography. In the early 1960s, the rural community is anchored by the settlement of Reagan at the junction of the Southern Pacific railroad and several regional routes like Kosse Road. Smaller nodes like Highbank and Coymack align with the Missouri Pacific rail line, illustrating a settlement pattern deeply tied to transport corridors and the alluvial plains. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous family-linked sites, including Old Bowman Cem, Washington Cem, and Summers Cem, alongside rural congregations at Bowman Chapel and Fish Creek Ch. A series of Pipeline corridors and scattered Gravel Pits indicate the modern infrastructure then emerging alongside traditional river-bottom farming.
