1950 Map of Gatesville
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The Leon River winds through this mid-century landscape, anchoring the regional hub of Gatesville and defining the corridor for the St Louis Southwestern railroad. The map reveals a transition from the civic and educational infrastructure of the town, including the State Reform School and Scott Airfield, to the expanding military footprint of the Fort Hood Military Reservation. This southern sector is dominated by a complex network of training grounds such as the Gatesville Ranges, Owl Creek Ranges, and an expansive Impact Area.
