1961 Map of Wellborn

About this map

Texas A & M University anchors the northern portion of this landscape, showing the campus layout during a period of significant growth. The expansion of College Station is evident in the residential tracts and the inclusion of collegiate landmarks like Kyle Field and the Coliseum. Southwest of the university, the Southern Pacific railroad corridor serves as the primary spine for rural settlements, connecting Wellborn, Royder, and Enright. These small communities, once defined by their proximity to the rail line, are documented here alongside their local institutions such as Salem Ch and Pleasant Grove Ch. Along the western edge, the Brazos River meanders through the bottomlands, forming the county boundary between Brazos and Burleson. The map captures the transition from a university-driven urban center to an agrarian landscape defined by family-named creeks like Hopes Creek and Wicker Creek.
