1958 Map of Killeen

About this map

Killeen stands as a rapidly expanding urban center in Central Texas, its growth reaching toward the Fort Hood Military Reservation boundary. This mid-century view captures the transition of the landscape as suburban development moves southward from the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe rail line, displacing former ranch land. The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the Stillhouse Hollow Lake and the winding course of the Lampasas River, where the elevation rises into the Douglas Mountains. Notable infrastructure includes a massive Aqueduct project and the Killeen Municipal Airport. Local education and community roots are documented through several neighborhood institutions like East Ward Sch, Fowler Sch, and Pleasant Hill Ch, while the Lone Star settlement provides a look at smaller residential clusters before total urban integration.
