1956 Map of Iredell

About this map

The town of Iredell serves as the focal point of this Bosque County landscape, situated along the North Bosque River. The map highlights a community shaped by its topographical transitions, from the river valley to the prominent height of Johnson Peak. Evidence of early transportation infrastructure is visible in the Old Railroad Grade that skirts the northern edge of the settlement. To the south, the terrain becomes more dissected as Spring Creek and Gibson Branch flow through the hills. This 1956 survey, updated in the late 1970s, captures essential local landmarks for genealogists, including the New Iredell Cem and the Spring Creek Ch. Small-scale industrial activity is noted at the Caliche Pit, reflecting the area's reliance on local geological resources for road building and construction.
