About this map

Rochelle serves as the focal point of this McCulloch County survey, positioned near several industrial and transit landmarks that define the local economy in the early 1960s. The landscape is marked by multiple Quarry sites and the Gulf Colorado And Santa Fe railway corridor, which runs alongside evidence of earlier transit routes like the Old Railroad Grade. This intersection of active and retired infrastructure provides a clear view of how the regional transport network evolved to serve the local stone and ranching industries.

Away from the town center, the terrain is shaped by the drainage of Brady Creek and Little Brady Creek, with the Soldiers Waterhole Historical Monument marking a significant point of local history near West Onion Creek. Genealogists will find the Rochelle Cem and landmarks such as the Price Landing Strip and the Athletic Field useful for locating family sites and community gathering places from this era.
