1960 Map of Sealy

About this map

Sealy serves as the central hub of this 1960 Austin County landscape, where the intersection of the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe and the Missouri Kansas Texas railroads defines the local commerce and geography. The map reveals a transition from the structured street grid of the town center—complete with its Hospital and Athletic Field—to the surrounding prairie and bottomlands. To the north and east, small agrarian communities like Millheim, Peters, and Macedonia are linked by rural routes such as Cat Spring Road. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Bullinger Creek and Allens Creek winding through the terrain, while local industry is noted through scattered Gas Wells and Gravel Pits. This survey captures the region before extensive modern expansion, preserving the locations of family-connected landmarks like Macedonia Cem and Peters Lake.
