1965 Map of Troy

About this map

The rolling hills north of Temple are defined by the convergence of several major tributaries in the mid-1960s, including Big Elm Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Little Elm Creek. This landscape is primarily agricultural and rural, punctuated by small family burial grounds like Old Troy Cem and Shiloh Cem that suggest generations of early settlement along the creek banks. The town of Troy sits as a central hub, while to the south, the industrial expansion of Temple is evident through the development of Belco and the H K Dodgen Loop.
