1947 Map of Bland

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Cowhouse Creek and the Leon River converge in this 1947 survey of the Texas hill country along the Coryell and Bell County line. The landscape is defined by the prominent Owl Creek Mountain and a network of small family and community hubs. Small settlements like Sparta and Bland are documented alongside vital rural infrastructure, including the Union Hill Sch and Phoenix Sch. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its precise location of several local burial grounds, such as Liberty Hill Cem, Watson Cem, and Denman Cem. The drainage patterns of Owl Creek and Bear Creek show the deeply dissected terrain typical of this region before extensive modern development altered the local watercourses.
