1966 Map of Whitney

About this map

Whitney stands as the central hub of this mid-1960s survey, surrounded by a landscape increasingly defined by the presence of Lake Whitney. To the west, the shoreline is shaped by recreation and conservation at Lake Whitney State Park, while the eastern terrain remains predominantly rural, marked by old family burial grounds like Bethlehem Cem and Yates Cem. The map captures a moment of transition where the Old Railroad Grade marks a former transport corridor, now superseded by local road networks.
