About this map

The Brazos River meanders across the southwestern corner of this Falls County landscape, shaping a fertile bottomland defined by Highbank Creek and Wild Horse Slough. Near the river, the settlement of Highbank sits along the Missouri Pacific rail line, which cuts a straight path toward the community of Coymack. The terrain is deeply marked by local family history and rural congregation sites, including Washington Cem, Summers Cem, and New Bowman Cem north of Big Creek.

Further north, the town of Reagan serves as a local hub at the intersection of several roads including Rosedale Rd and Kosse Road. The map documents a transition in local infrastructure, noting an Old Railroad Grade and several Pipeline corridors crossing the drainages of Goose Branch and Fish Creek. This 1960s-era survey, later photorevised in the late 1970s, preserves the locations of numerous country churches like Bethany Cem Ch and St Paul Ch that anchored these farming communities.
