1927 Map of Blum
USGS Topo · Published 1927About this map
The Brazos River carves a winding path through this 1920s landscape at the junction of Johnson, Bosque, and Hill Counties. Significant river crossings such as Phelps Crossing, Dowell Crossing, and Logwood Crossing highlight the importance of local fords before the widespread construction of highway bridges. The area is anchored by the rail settlements of Blum and Rio Vista along the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe Railway, while the southern reaches show the Missouri Kansas and Texas line serving Kopperl. The presence of scattered rural education centers like Live Oak School and Greenbrier School illustrates the distributed nature of Texas ranching and farming communities during this era. High ground is marked by features like Robison Bluff and Powell dale Mtn, overlooking the expansive Steiner Valley.
