1962 Map of Rockdale West

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The San Gabriel River meanders across this landscape in Milam County, defining a region where river bottomlands meet established rail corridors. In the early 1960s, the western edge of Rockdale shows a mix of residential growth and industry, featuring a Drive-in Theater, a Trailer Park, and the Meadow Brook development. The presence of the Missouri Pacific railroad and an Old Railroad Grade further north reflects the area's long-standing reliance on rail transport for moving agricultural and industrial goods. Scattered across the rural reaches are numerous markers of early settlement history, including the St Johns Ch and a high concentration of family and community burial grounds such as Hickory Grove Cem and San Andres Cem. Further south, the map details small rail-side communities like Marjorie and Praesel, as well as unique local landmarks such as the M and M Minnow Farm.
