1960 Map of Sealy

About this map

The town of Sealy stands at the convergence of three major rail lines in this 1960 survey, serving as a vital transportation hub for Austin County. The Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe, Missouri Kansas Texas, and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads crisscross the landscape, illustrating the region's historical dependence on rail transit for agricultural and industrial goods. Beyond the urban center, the map reveals the small settlements of Peters and Macedonia, the latter of which is anchored by the Macedonia Cem. To the east, the edge of San Felipe appears near the banks of Bullinger Creek. The terrain is characterized by a network of waterways like Little Bernard Creek and Mill Creek, interspersed with Gravel Pits and Gas Well sites that point to the area's resource-based economy during the mid-century era.
