1961 Map of Knob Hill

About this map

The North Paluxy River and South Paluxy River converge in this Erath County landscape, which reflects a mid-century transition from traditional rural life to institutional research and modern infrastructure. Rural education and community hubs are anchored by Center Grove Sch and Smith Springs Sch, while the presence of the Texas A & M College Experimental Station in the south points toward the region's agricultural scientific interests. The local geography is marked by several burial grounds including Morton Chapel Cem and Knob Hill Cem, situated near its namesake Knob Hill landmark. Transportation and commerce are represented by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which cuts through the terrain alongside newer developments like the Stephenville Country Club Lake and a prominent Landing Strip.
