1965 Map of Lingleville

About this map

Lingleville sits at the northeastern corner of this mid-1960s landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding ranch and farm lands of Erath County. The terrain is deeply inscribed by a drainage network including Hackberry Creek, Henning Creek, and the Leon River in the southwest, where several small impoundments such as Dam No 5 and Dam No 10 reflect local water management efforts. Rural life is anchored by small communities and gathering places like Highland and Victor, along with several country churches including Bethel Ch and Round Grove Ch. Genealogists will find the West End Cem and Bethel Cem clearly marked. A significant historical trace is found in the Old Railroad Grade that cuts diagonally across the western half of the map, marking a former transportation corridor through the rolling country south of the Dry Fork Armstrong Creek.
