1956 Map of Gentrys Mill

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Leon River carves through the central landscape of this mid-1950s survey, marking a borderland between Hamilton and Comanche counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages, including Warren Creek, Pecan Creek, and Resley Creek, which feed into the main river valley. Rural life in this era centered on small communities and family-named landmarks, such as the cluster of activity around Gentrys Mill, where both the local Gentrys Mill Ch and Warren Creek Ch served the surrounding farmsteads. The infrastructure reflects a period of transition; while the 36th Division Memorial Highway provides modern transit, the presence of an Old Railroad Grade and the notation for Springtown (Aband) point to the shifting economic centers of the early 20th century. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved here, including Fuqua Cem and Toliver Cem.
