1963 Map of Teague North

About this map

The railroad junction at Teague anchors this Freestone County landscape, where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific meets the Fort Worth and Denver line. This mid-century survey illustrates a community deeply connected by its schools and churches, featuring the Booker T Washington School and several rural congregations such as Wesley Ch and Union Prim Ch. To the north, the small settlements of Cotton Gin and Simsboro stand among a network of creeks, including Tehuacana Creek and Caney Creek. Local industry and infrastructure are evident in the scattered claypits and the Teague City Lake reservoir. The presence of both Gage Airfield and Gregory Field near the town center reflects the era's local aviation footprint, while family and community history is preserved at sites like Hopewell Cem and St Paul Ch.
