1960 Map of Streetman

About this map

Streetman and the surrounding rural landscapes of Freestone and Navarro Counties are defined by the meandering course of Richland Creek, which bisects the quadrangle. This 1960s-era survey, updated in the early 1980s, captures a transition from traditional agricultural settlements to modern infrastructure, marked by a prominent pipeline corridor crossing the terrain. The map is a vital resource for tracing family history, documenting several dispersed communities like Cheneyboro and numerous country churches, including Silent Grove Ch and Birdston Valley Ch. Smaller watercourses such as Crab Creek and Grape Creek feed into the central valley, while family-named landmarks like Johnson Cem and Handcock Cem anchor the local genealogy. The boundary between the two counties is noted as an Indefinite Boundary through the creek bottoms, reflecting the complex surveying history of these central Texas bottomlands.
