About this map

The railroad town of Taylor serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey, defined by the junction of the Missouri Pacific and Missouri Kansas Texas railroads. The town's grid is densely packed with civic institutions, including The Johns Hospital, The Johns Clinic, and a series of neighborhood schools such as West End Sch and Price Sch. A cultural landscape of local significance is visible in the distribution of religious and commemorative sites, from Memorial Ch to the City Cemetery and St Marys Cem.

Beyond the urban core, the landscape transitions into a network of watercourses like North Fork Mustang Creek and Boggy Creek. This agrarian periphery is dotted with small-scale industries and rural landmarks, including several Gravel Pits and the small settlement at Frame Switch. The presence of the City Airport and a Drive-in Theater reflects the mid-century expansion of recreational and transportation infrastructure in Williamson County.
