1966 Map of Glen Rose West

About this map

The Paluxy River winds through the northern landscape of this 1960s survey, anchoring the town of Glen Rose and its surrounding rural communities. The map captures a moment before significant late-century development, where the terrain is defined by its watercourses and small-scale industry. Numerous Gravel Pits are scattered near the riverbanks and along the White Bluff Creek drainage, reflecting the local resource extraction of the era. To the south, the Seven Knobs rise near the Somervell Co Bosque Co line, marking the transition into more broken country drained by South Fork Hill Creek. Genealogists will find particular value in the several family and community burial sites documented here, including Lanham Mill Cem, the Nancy Smith Cem, and Ward Branch Cem near the small settlement of Glass.
