1966 Map of Laguna Park

About this map

Lake Whitney and its shoreline at Laguna Park anchor this Bosque County landscape, where the Brazos River system meets the varied topography of central Texas. The 1960s terrain is defined by several significant drainages, including the lengthy Childress Creek and Coon Creek, which carve through the elevations leading toward the lake. Small rural communities and landmarks suggest a settled ranching and agricultural economy, particularly around the Womack settlement and Cayote. Local history researchers will find several genealogy-rich points of interest, such as the Fairview Ch and the rural Cem near Womack. Along the lake's edge, Soldiers Bluff Park and its Bluff contrast with the industrial presence of Gravel Pits and various Water Tanks, illustrating the intersection of recreation, utility, and resource extraction during this era.
