1966 Map of Blanket

About this map

Blanket stands as the central hub of this Central Texas landscape during the late 1960s, situated at the junction of Highway 67 377 and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. The settlement pattern here is characterized by small, family-centric locales like Logan Valley and Nabers, often centered around community landmarks such as Union Church. The terrain is marked by the prominent Salt Mountain to the north and the winding paths of Blanket Creek and Salt Creek, which are punctuated by numerous small dams and areas subject to controlled inundation. Local industry and recreation are evident through the presence of several Gravel Pits and the Rodeo Ground and Athletic Field located just south of the main town site. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating smaller burial grounds like Antioch Cemetery, Eureka Cemetery, and Moro Cemetery.
