1956 Map of Jonesboro

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Leon River meanders through the heart of this Central Texas landscape, defining a region where the borders of Hamilton, Bosque, and Coryell counties meet. In the mid-1950s, the community of Jonesboro served as a local hub along the Division Memorial Highway, surrounded by smaller settlements like Pancake and Levita. The map preserves the traces of earlier transportation and education, notably the Old Railroad Grade running parallel to Plum Creek and the Stanford School located near Middle Fork Valley Creek. Rural life is etched into the terrain through numerous family and community sites, from the Willy Grubb Cem and Viertel Cem to local spiritual centers like Bethel Ch and Pleasant Valley Ch. To the north, the elevation rises toward High Point and Cutoff Mtn, while the southern reaches are marked by essential infrastructure like a Power Sta near Ames.
