About this map

The campus of Texas A & M University anchors this study of Brazos County, showing the institution's mid-century footprint including iconic landmarks like Kyle Field, the Coliseum, and the Athletic Field. The map captures the southern expansion of College Station and Bryan, where the residential grid meets the open agricultural and river-bottom lands to the south. Transportation is defined by the Southern Pacific line, which parallels the highway through the small settlements of Wellborn, Royder, and Enright.

To the west, the landscape drops toward the Brazos River, where the Koppe Bridge Road leads toward the winding waterway and its complex system of tributaries like Hopes Creek and White Creek. Rural life is centered around several country houses of worship, including Washington Ch and Pleasant Grove Ch. This edition also details the aviation facilities at Easterwood Field, providing a clear view of the region's infrastructure during a period of significant growth.
