1960 Map of Webbville

About this map

Pecan Bayou and its many tributaries define the landscape of this Central Texas region during the mid-20th century. The settlement of Webbville sits near the confluence of the main bayou and Little Pecan Bayou, surrounded by a network of drainage systems including Wolf Hollow, Rocky Branch, and Sand Branch. This survey illustrates the transition from traditional ranching and farming to industrial activity, as evidenced by the numerous Oil Wells and the Anzak-Morris Oil Field in the southwest. A lone Landing Strip and scattered Quarries further indicate the diversification of the local economy. For genealogists, the map preserves the location of Adams Cem near the eastern border, while the boundary line between Coleman Co and Callahan Co cuts across the northern terrain, marking a distinct administrative divide in the rolling Texas interior.
