About this map

Cranfills Gap serves as the primary hub of this 1956 topographical survey, situated at the junction of routes through the hills of Bosque and Hamilton Counties. The landscape is defined by its distinct named peaks, including Spencer Mountain, Flat Top Mountain, and Rattlesnake Mountain, which rise above the valleys carved by Mustang Creek and the prongs of Meridian Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous family-named burial sites and landmarks, such as Ridd Thompson Cem, Cox-Burton Graves, and the Loth Cem. A notable localized feature is The Baptism Hole (Abney) along the creek, offering a specific point of cultural and community history. The layout of the town includes the High School and Athletic Field, while the rural surroundings are dotted with scattered Caliche Pits and landmarks like The Rock Ch.
