1965 Map of Schulenburg

About this map

Schulenburg sits at the heart of this mid-1960s landscape, positioned along the Southern Pacific railroad line where the urban footprint shows expansion into the surrounding Fayette County fields. The map records a dense network of rural landmarks, including the historic community of High Hill to the north and St John to the south, both hubs for local farm families. Cultural life of the era is evidenced by the Drive-in Theater east of town and the Freyburg Community Hall nestled near the headwaters of Bee Creek. Drainage patterns are defined by the West Navidad River and its numerous tributaries like Mulberry Creek and Rocky Creek, which carve through the terrain. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several burial sites, including Old High Hill Cem, Fitzgerald Cem, and Lyons Cem near Corinth Ch.
