1947 Map of Killeen

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Fort Hood Military Reservation dominates the northern half of this Central Texas landscape, where the rugged topography of the Sugar Loaf Ranges and Black Gap Ranges transitions into the river valleys. The 1947 survey captures Killeen as it began its rapid post-war expansion, anchored by the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad and the presence of Moyer Airport. Surrounding the base, the rural character of Bell and Coryell Counties is preserved through smaller settlements like Nolanville, Sparta, and Brookhaven.
