About this map

Killeen expanded rapidly in the mid-20th century, a transformation highlighted by the purple-tinted urban extensions that grew toward the Fort Hood Military Reservation. The town's civic structure is defined by its neighborhood schools, including East Ward Sch and Marlboro Sch, while the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor anchors the northern commercial district.

South of the burgeoning city center, the landscape transitions into the rolling terrain of the Douglas Mountains and Miller Mountain. This area is marked by a network of creeks like South Nolan Creek and Trimmer Creek that eventually feed into the Stillhouse Hollow Lake on the Lampasas River. Notable infrastructure projects of the era are visible, such as an Aqueduct Under Construction stretching through the central valley near the Killeen Municipal Airport.
