1966 Map of Round Prairie

About this map

The Navasota River winds through this Central Texas landscape, marking the boundary where Leon, Limestone, and Robertson counties converge. During the mid-1960s, this area remained largely rural, defined by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and small creek-side settlements like Seale and Round Prairie. The topography is shaped by numerous waterways, including Dogwood Creek, Birch Creek, and Steele Creek, which feed into the primary river valley. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds across the map, from McKenzie Cem in the north to Downs Cem near the southern edge. The Missouri Pacific railroad cuts through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, passing near the Little Flock Ch, providing a glimpse into the transport infrastructure that supported the surrounding agricultural community during this period of Texas history.
