About this map

The northwest reaches of Terrell and the surrounding Kaufman County countryside appear here as they were transitioning in the early 1960s. The southern edge of the sheet is dominated by the Texas and Pacific Railroad and the expanding residential footprint of the city, including the Oak Grove Country Club and Forest Lawn Cem. Moving north, the landscape remains primarily agricultural, dotted with small rural communities and family-named landmarks like Chisholm, Lawrence, and Colquitt.

A network of creeks, including Hackberry Creek and High Point Creek, defines the drainage of this blackland prairie region. Water management infrastructure is evident through the presence of a large aqueduct system and a Pumping Sta servicing Club Lake. Notable local landmarks such as Wildwood Ch and the Dry Creek Cem provide essential anchor points for genealogists and researchers studying the rural settlement patterns of the era.
