1968 Map of Blum

About this map

The Brazos River carves a dramatic oxbow at Kimball Bend, a central geographical feature of this late 1960s survey where the borders of Johnson, Hill, and Bosque counties converge. This era of the landscape is defined by the significant footprint of Lake Whitney, which has altered the traditional river drainage of Nolan River and Ham Creek. A notable historical layer is preserved through the marking of the Chisholm Trail, which cuts across the terrain south of the river, providing a spatial link to the cattle-driving history of the region.
