About this map

Mother Neff State Park anchors the western edge of this landscape where the Leon River flows into the northern reaches of Belton Lake. The terrain is characterized by the convergence of several waterways, including Station Creek, Onion Creek, and Stampede Creek, which carve through the central Texas countryside. This 1965 survey, updated in the early 1990s, documents the rural infrastructure of Bell and Coryell counties, highlighting the proximity of small community centers like Eagle Springs and Whitson.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites and rural houses of worship scattered across the quadrangle, such as the Alexander Cemetery, Buckhorn Cemetery, and Moody-Leon Church. The map also captures the expansion of the Belton Wildlife Management Area and the distinct loop of Horseshoe Bend, providing a clear view of the land before further modern development altered these traditional settlement patterns.
