1962 Map of Rosebud

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad corridor anchors the landscape of southern Falls County, connecting the primary settlement of Rosebud with outlying rural communities during the early 1960s. This survey illustrates the town's concentration of social and civic infrastructure, including Panther Field, American Legion Park, and Wilson White High Sch. Outside the developed street grid of Rosebud, the terrain is defined by the winding course of Big Briary Creek and Hog Creek, which flow toward the Falls Co Milam Co boundary. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and parish landmarks, such as Powers Chapel and Powers Cem in the northeast, and the cluster of Burlington Cem, St Michaels Cem, and St Luke Cem near the town of Burlington. The map reveals a transition from the structured blocks of the town center to a landscape of dispersed farms and small rural settlements like Wilderville and New Clarkson.
