1968 Map of Blum
USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
Brazos River and Nolan River converge in this northern reach of Lake Whitney, creating a landscape defined by deep river bends and the cattle-driving history of the Chisholm Trail. The topography is marked by significant elevation changes at Kimball Bend and numerous seasonal drainages like Bailey Hollow and Opossum Hollow. Settlement is concentrated along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which links the communities of Blum and Rio Vista. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites, including Grange Hall Cem, Kyle Cem, and Live Oak Cem. The presence of Fishermans Paradise and Blum Mills Park reflects the mid-century development of the region as a recreational destination following the impoundment of the reservoir.
