1957 Map of Hamby

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Fort Phantom Hill Lake dominates the central landscape of this Jones and Taylor County region, serving as a primary reservoir with its normal pool elevation of 1626 feet. The map illustrates a complex water system including the Clear Fork Brazos River, Elm Creek, and Deadman Creek, which feed into and navigate around the lake's jagged shoreline. Settlements like Hamby and Lanius are situated near the southern and western margins, connected by the industrial corridor of the Fort Worth and Denver (Burlington) railroad. Cultural markers of the late 1950s and 1960s are evident in the inclusion of a Drive-in Theater and a Radio Tower near the tracks. Local history is further grounded by landmarks such as the Roland Mound Cem and numerous Gravel Pits, reflecting the area's rural economy and land use during this period of mid-century development.
