1961 Map of Bono

About this map

The Brazos River creates a dramatic oxbow at De Cordova Bend in the northwestern corner of this Johnson County region. The landscape transition is evident as the river's high banks and nearby Berry Knob give way to the sprawling recreation grounds of Cleburne State Park to the south. This survey illustrates the rural character of the area in the early 1960s, showing a network of small creeks like Wilson Creek and Georges Creek that define the drainage of the limestone-heavy terrain.
