1961 Map of Hill City

About this map

Hill City and Neri anchor this topographic survey of the landscape along the Hood and Somervell County line. The map captures a transition in land use, from the quiet rural community at Neri School and the Mt Pleasant Cemetery to the emerging public infrastructure of Dinosaur Valley State Park along the Paluxy River. Significant riparian networks including Contrary Creek, Squaw Creek, and Million Branch carve through the terrain, while infrastructure updates such as a landing strip and major pipelines signal the mid-century modernization of this Central Texas corridor.
