1958 Map of Copperas Cove

About this map

Copperas Cove expanded significantly between the mid-century and late 1970s, as shown by the purple photogrammetric revisions that trace new residential and industrial growth. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the burgeoning town and the neighboring Fort Hood Military Reservation, which occupies the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Transport routes follow the natural gaps in the terrain, such as Ogletree Gap and Starkie Gap, where the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad runs alongside major roads.
