1966 Map of Chalk Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The community of Chalk Mountain sits atop the high ground of the Texas Cross Timbers region, marking the boundary where Erath and Somervell counties meet. This 1960s-era topography, updated in the late 1970s, reveals a landscape defined by dramatic relief and drainage, with deep incisions like Long Hollow and Big Kid Hollow channeling water toward the East Bosque River and White Bluff Creek. The map documents the rural infrastructure of the period, from the Radio Tower and Roadside Park to the numerous scattered Gravel Pits and a Quarry that speak to the local geology and industry. Smaller family or community landmarks, including Chalk Mountain Ch, Plainview Ch, and several isolated Wells, indicate the persistent patterns of settlement across this broken terrain. Notable water features like Lesley Lake and Chimney Lake contrast with the rugged limestone hills, providing essential water sources in a region characterized by its namesake white outcroppings.
