1928 Map of Godley

About this map

The Brazos River creates a dramatic series of deep, winding meanders across this landscape, defining the boundaries between Hood and Somervell counties. Surveyed in the mid-1920s, the map captures a rural Texas interior where transportation relied on established routes like the Fort Worth and Granbury Road and the Glenrose Road. Local life centers on a network of small schoolhouses and churches, including the Nubbin Ridge Church and schools such as Shady Grove School and Alta Vista School.
