1960 Map of Thomas

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Little Cypress Creek and its many tributaries, including Caney Creek, Prairie Creek, and Johnson Branch, carve through this landscape of the Post Oak Savannah. Small agrarian settlements and church-centered communities define the region, with Thomas situated near the northern edge and Rosewood and Harmony anchoring the southern border. The map illustrates a rural Texas social fabric built around local institutions like Harmony Sch and several country churches, including Soules Chapel and Enon Ch. One of the most distinctive markers of the area's history is the Cherokee Trace, an early road that cuts across the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of burial sites like Simpsonville Cem and Grice Cem, alongside family-named water features such as Williams Branch and Hamberlin Branch.
