1960 Map of Sunny Side

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Brazos River creates a dramatic series of meanders along the western border of this Waller County landscape, defining the geography around Wildcat Bend and several oxbows like Cuny Lake. Industrial activity is centered in the northwest at the Racoon Bend Oil Field, where a dense network of oil wells and pipelines punctuates the terrain. The eastern portion of the sheet reveals a settled rural character, anchored by the communities of Monaville and Sunny Side. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous family and community landmarks, including the Sunny Side PO, St Thomas Ch, and a variety of small burial grounds such as Harper Cem, Vesley Cem, and the Carrington Cem. Transport routes like Crump Ferry Road suggest historical river crossings that once linked these farming and oil-producing communities across the river's shifting course.
