1959 Map of Lipan

About this map

The Brazos River winds in dramatic loops across this landscape, creating distinctive horseshoe-shaped points such as Chestnut Bend and Polk Stalk Bend. This 1959-1960 survey illustrates the rural intersection of Palo Pinto, Hood, and Erath Counties, where the Texas and Pacific railroad facilitates transport through settlements like Santo and Brazos. The map provides a detailed view of mid-century community life, documenting several rural churches such as Live Oak Ch and Willow Pond Ch, alongside the Progress Sch.
