1961 Map of Wellborn

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Texas A & M University campus serves as the northern anchor for this 1961 survey, showing the institution's mid-century footprint alongside College Station and the outskirts of Bryan. The landscape is defined by the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor, which links a series of smaller rural settlements including Wellborn, Royder, and Enright. To the west, the winding Brazos River forms the county line, bordered by bottomlands and the Easterwood Field airport. Cultural landmarks of the era are clearly visible, from the Drive-in Theater and Rodeo Ground near the university to the Salem Ch and College Station Cem that reflect the area's local genealogy. Numerous creek systems like Lick Creek and Peach Creek drain the terrain toward the Brazos, while scattered industrial sites such as a Gravel Pit and Sand Pit point to the local extraction economy during this period of Texas expansion.
