1965 Map of Temple

About this map

The city of Temple serves as a major regional hub in this 1965 survey, defined by its dense network of educational and medical institutions. The map documents numerous segregated and community schools, including Dunbar High Sch, Wheatley Sch, and Bethune Sch, reflecting the civic infrastructure of mid-century central Texas. Beyond the urban core, the Blackland Experimental Farm and the Veterans Administration Center highlight the area's importance to agricultural research and federal services. The landscape transitions from the grid of Temple to the rural expanses of Heidenheimer and Little Flock, where smaller settlements are connected by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Missouri Kansas Texas railroads. Several family and community burial grounds, such as Greathouse Cem and Lancaster Cem, are tucked away near watercourses like Little Elm Creek.
