1965 Map of Belton

About this map

The Leon River and Lampasas River converge south of Belton, framing a landscape defined by significant mid-century infrastructure and educational institutions. This era shows the expansion of urban areas in purple tint, particularly around Temple and the southern reaches of Belton, while the northern portion is dominated by the reservoir of Belton Lake and its spillway. The map captures Hardin-Baylor College and local schools like Harris Sch and Tyler Sch, which serve as anchors for the local community.
