1961 Map of Knob Hill

About this map

The North Paluxy River and South Paluxy River converge in this central Texas landscape, creating a drainage network that defines the local topography. By the early 1960s, the area southwest of Stephenville Country Club Lake was established with a mix of agricultural research at the Texas A & M College Experimental Station and scattered rural institutions. Numerous small cemeteries, including Morgan Chapel Cem and Bethel Cem, alongside the Center Grove Sch, indicate a well-distributed population of family farms. The Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad cuts through the eastern portion of the terrain, paralleling the river, while several borrow pits near the North Bosque River suggest active road building or local industry during this period.
