1964 Map of Rogers

About this map

Rogers serves as the primary hub in this central Texas landscape, situated along the tracks of the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad. The topography is defined by the branching drainages of Big Elm Creek and South Elm Creek, which create a series of low ridges and valleys that dictate the placement of small rural communities like New Colony and Edgewood. An Indefinite Boundary marks the division between Bell and Milam counties, cutting across the agricultural terrain. For those tracing family histories in the area, the map preserves the locations of the Rogers Cem and McCann Cem, alongside rural landmarks such as a prominent Water Tank and Athletic Field near the town center. The presence of Rogers Lake and several dry hollows, including Dry Hollow, illustrates the drainage patterns vital to the region's ranching and farming operations during the mid-1960s.
