1954 Map of Gatesville West

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Gatesville sits at the eastern edge of this Central Texas landscape, where the meandering Leon River defines the river valley. The map documents a significant military and institutional presence, with the sprawling Fort Hood Military Reservation occupying the southern terrain and the State Reform School Grounds located near the river bend north of town. Rural life and early development are evident in the scatter of small community centers like Bethel Heights and the presence of several country houses of worship, including Standlee Chapel and Keener Chapel. Transportation history is visible through an Old Railroad Grade and the City-County Airport. The topography is marked by distinctive elevations such as Bald Knob, while local genealogy is rooted in sites like Hemmeline Cem and Hay Valley Ch.
