1962 Map of Smiley

About this map

Smiley serves as the focal point for this 1962 topographical survey of southern Gonzales County, situated at the intersection of the Southern Pacific railroad and local rural routes. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several major waterways, including the winding course of Sandies Creek and Elm Creek, which drain the surrounding agricultural and ranch lands. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by scattered Oil Wells, a Sandpit, and a Gravel Pit located near the town center.
