USGS Topo · Published 1917About this map
Gatesville serves as the focal point for this late 19th-century survey of Central Texas, where the early regional economy was defined by the arrival of iron rails. The St. Louis Arkansas and Texas Railroad parallels the Leon River, connecting settlements like Leon Junction and Fort Gates along the valley floor. To the south, the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad cuts through the territory near Killeen and Coperas Cove, marking the path of expansion across Bell and Coryell counties.
