About this map

Teague serves as the regional hub in this mid-1960s survey of Freestone and Limestone counties, appearing during a period of steady infrastructure development. The landscape is defined by the Burlington Northern railroad corridor and a complex network of pipelines that traverse the rolling terrain. Outside the primary settlement, the rural character of the era is preserved in small communities like Asia and Personville, the latter situated near the southern boundary line.

Tracing the watercourses reveals a land deeply utilized for agriculture and industry, with several named tributaries like White Rock Creek and Chambers Creek feeding into local reservoirs such as Browns Lake and Sellers Lake. Evidence of local industry is visible through numerous gas wells, a Claypit, and a Sandpit scattered across the quadrangle. Cultural life of the period is marked by several rural landmarks, including the Greenwood Cemetery, Cedar Creek Church, and Salem Church, providing valuable geographic anchors for genealogists.
