1960 Map of Streetman

About this map

Streetman sits at the southern edge of this 1960 survey, serving as a hub where the Fort Worth and Denver railroad meets the border of Navarro and Freestone counties. The landscape is defined by the broad, wooded floodplain of Richland Creek, which meanders through the center of the map. This area preserves a mid-century rural Texan layout of scattered family settlements and community landmarks, such as Birdston Valley and Cheneyboro. The map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it meticulously identifies numerous local burial grounds and places of worship, including Hopewell Cem, Handcock Cem, and Silent Grove Ch. The presence of several distinct rail lines, such as the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific, underscores the region's historical reliance on rail transport for its agricultural economy.
