1970 Map of Grit

About this map

The Mason Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this Central Texas quadrangle, where the rugged topography transitions into ranching land carved by seasonal drainage. The small settlement of Grit sits at the junction of Highway 29 and Highway 377, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural community. Evidence of local family history and early settlement is preserved in sites like the Grit Cem and Cavness Cem, while the hamlet of Streeter marks the western edge of the surveyed area. The map illustrates a landscape defined by water and terrain, from the prominent Double Knobs to the winding course of Honey Creek. Near the southern border, the community of Koockville and the nearby Koocks Branch reflect the enduring footprint of localized agricultural and residential centers during the early 1970s.
