1966 Map of Seymour East

About this map

The Brazos River winds along the western edge of this Baylor County landscape, providing a sharp contrast to the high ground of Little Mountain in the east. This mid-1960s survey documents the regional transportation network, anchored by the Fort Worth and Denver line and an abandoned Old Railroad Grade north of town. The city of Seymour serves as the primary hub, where local history is etched into the landscape at Riverside Cem and Woodman Cem. Outside the main settlement, the smaller communities of Lively and Ogden mark the rural expanses. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages, including Seymour Creek, Deep Creek, and Turkey Creek, which cut through the rolling ranch land and frequent Gravel Pit excavations characteristic of the area's geology.
