1956 Map of Carlton

About this map

The settlement of Carlton serves as the focal point for this landscape where the boundaries of Erath, Hamilton, and Comanche Counties converge. This mid-century survey captures the rural character of the Texas Hill Country, showing a community structured around its local High Sch and several family or community burial grounds, including Turnbow Cemetery, Altman Cemetery, and Midway Cemetery. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal waterways like Wolf Prong Creek and Gilmore Creek that drain the upland breaks.
