1960 Map of Rhonesboro

About this map

Rhonesboro sits at the southern edge of this East Texas terrain, where the undulating landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Little Cypress Creek system. The area reflects a rural economy transitioning from early 20th-century rail dependencies to modern infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of an Old Railroad Grade and numerous pipelines cutting across the timbered tracts. Local history and genealogy are anchored by landmarks like Little Hope Ch, Smith Cem, and Rogers Cem, alongside small crossroads communities like Perryville and Ogburn. Water resources are central to the map's character, featuring diverse named bodies such as Gunstream Lakes, Johnson Lake, and the winding Caney Creek. These features, along with scattered Gravel Pits, highlight a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and local extractive industry.
