About this map

Lower Keechi Creek meanders through this portion of Leon County, shaping a landscape defined by small rural settlements and a growing energy footprint during the mid-1960s. The region is dotted with historic community nodes such as North Salem, South Salem, and Friendship, each representing the traditional social fabric of this Texas interior. Evidence of early settlers remains visible at the Old Union Cem, Liberty Cem, and Curtiss Cem, which serve as critical landmarks for genealogical research.

By the time this survey was field-checked in 1965, the introduction of several Gas Well sites and major Pipeline infrastructure began to overlay the agricultural terrain. Water features like Upper Flag Pond and Lower Flag Pond contrast with the higher ground of Mount Lily, where the Mount Lily Ch stands. The small settlement of Robbins anchors the southwestern corner, while Corinth sits near the northern boundary, illustrating a pattern of dispersed homesteads and country churches characteristic of the era.
