1947 Map of Gatesville West

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Gatesville serves as the focal point of this central Texas landscape, situated along the banks of the winding Leon River. The post-war era is reflected in the southern portion of the sheet by the Fort Hood Military Reservation, where the Reservation Boundary cuts across a landscape otherwise defined by small-scale rural agriculture. This 1947 survey captures a community structured around its spiritual and educational centers, including Standlee Chapel, Calvary Baptist Ch, and the Plainview Sch. Near the river, the State Reform School stands as a significant institutional landmark. For genealogists, the inclusion of the Hemelline Cem and family-named landmarks like Bald Knob provides specific points for tracing local lineage. The road network, featuring Old Georgetown Road and Pidcoke Road, illustrates the established overland routes connecting these rural outposts.
