1957 Map of Leon Junction

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Leon Junction serves as the focal point of this Central Texas landscape, situated where the St Louis Southwestern railroad meets the winding course of the Leon River. The mid-century geography reveals a community structured around rural education and faith, evidenced by the Leon Junction Sch, St Paul Sch, and Cold Springs Ch. To the south, the expansion of the Fort Hood Military Reservation marks a significant transition in land use, encroaching upon the rugged elevations of Bread Tray Mountain and King Mountain. The map also captures a period of hydrological change, showing the backwaters of Belton Lake reaching into the river valley. Transportation history is preserved through the clearly marked Old Railroad Grade, tracing a path independent of the active rail lines that once drove the local economy.
