1957 Map of China Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Brazos River and North Bosque River anchor this mid-century survey of the Central Texas landscape northwest of Waco. The settlement of China Springs serves as the local hub, characterized by its post office and the nearby China school. This era reveals a rural economy transitioning through the mid-1950s, evidenced by numerous Gravel Pits concentrated along the riverbanks and the presence of smaller communities like Wortham Bend and Erath. Drainage patterns are finely detailed, showing how Childress Creek and Live Oak Creek carve through the terrain toward the larger river systems. For those tracing local heritage, the map documents the Oak Grove Ch and the Patrick Cem, providing essential markers for family history research in this part of McLennan County near the borders of Bosque and Hill counties.
