About this map

Hill City and Neri anchor this early 1960s study of the rural landscape where the Hood and Somervell county line intersects. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the southern sweep of the Paluxy River and the northern reaches of Squaw Creek. This era of the landscape is marked by small-scale community foundations, evidenced by local landmarks like Neri Sch and the Prairie Creek Ch, as well as the Cedar Brake Girl Scout Camp near the riverbanks.

Industrial activity is visible through scattered Gravel Pits and a prominent Pipeline corridor that cuts diagonally across the quadrangle. For those researching local history or genealogy, the map provides precise locations for the Mt Pleasant Cem in the northwest and Post Oak Cem near the center, preserving the locations of these family and community sites during a period of transition in North Central Texas.
