1957 Map of Gatesville East

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Leon River flows along the western edge of Gatesville, carving a valley that separates the town from the more dissected uplands of central Texas. This 1957 field-checked survey, updated in the late 1970s, documents the town as the county seat, highlighting the Courthouse and institutional landmarks like the Gatesville State School for Boys. To the south, the Fort Hood Military Reservation and North Fort Hood signify the significant military footprint in the region, including a Landing Strip and varied terrain labeled simply as Mountain. Transportation history is visible through several stretches of Old Railroad Grade and Grade, marking former rail lines that once connected these rural communities. Small settlements and points of interest like South Mountain and Fort Gates dot the landscape alongside quiet country sites such as Friendship Ch and the Odd Fellows Cem.
