1924 Map of Cleburne 3-B

About this map

The Brazos River carves a deep, winding path through the southwestern portion of this survey, creating the prominent Kimball Bend near the Klondike Ranch. This 1920s topography highlights the transition from the river lowlands to the elevated terrain of Johnson Co Hill. Settlement is concentrated along the rail corridors in the east, where the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe and Santa Fe lines serve the towns of Rio Vista and Blum. The landscape between these hubs is primarily agricultural, marked by rural schoolhouses such as Plain View School, Live Oak School, and Greenbrier School. Numerous seasonal drainages like Nolands Branch and Mustang Creek feed into the Nolands River, while the western hills are defined by deep cuts like Possum Hollow and Broken Rock Hollow.
