1960 Map of Rhonesboro

About this map

Rhonesboro and the surrounding piney woods of East Texas are captured here during the early 1960s, a landscape defined by its intricate drainage network and rural outposts. The settlement of Perryville sits near the headwaters of Webster Branch, while the community of Ogburn anchors the western portion of the sheet. For those researching the era's local infrastructure, the Old Railroad Grade cutting through the southern hills and the numerous pipelines traversing the terrain reveal the region's industrial and transportation history. Local landmarks like Camp Deer Run and the Little Hope Ch suggest a well-established community life amidst the creeks and branches. Notable water features such as Gunstream Lakes and the curiously named Homebrew Branch highlight the topographic variety of the Wood and Upshur county line.
