About this map

Mullin serves as the primary hub of activity in this 1925 survey of central Texas, situated where the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad intersects the Roger Q Mills State Highway. The landscape is defined by a series of significant watercourses and elevated terrain, including Little Pompy Mt and Round Mt. To the south, the settlement of Williams Ranch sits along Williams Ranch Creek, while the small community of Pecan is located near Jackson Bridge over the Bayou.

This map, which used early aerial photography from the Army Air Service, provides a clear view of rural infrastructure during the mid-1920s. Education and local transit are well-documented through the placement of the Duren School and Center Point School. The drainage patterns of Blanket Creek and Pompy Creek illustrate the natural topography that shaped early settlement and agricultural development in this part of Mills County.
