1956 Map of Hurst Spring

About this map

Neils Creek and Hog Creek wind through this mid-century landscape along the Bosque Co / Coryell Co line. The area is characterized by a network of rural roads connecting small settlements like Hurst and the Crossroad Store. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several burial grounds, including Norway Mill Cemetery and Post Oak Cemetery, alongside markers of earlier community life such as the Hurst Spring Sch (Aband). Significant landmarks like Norman Hill and Norway Hill provide vertical relief in an area primarily defined by ranching and agriculture. Notable industrial features from this period include a Caliche Pit and the Old Norway Mill, suggesting a transition from traditional water-powered milling to modern resource extraction by the mid-1950s.
