1964 Map of Little River

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Little River carves a sinuous path through the central Texas landscape, where the confluence of several tributaries like Boggy Creek and Knob Creek shaped early Bell County settlement patterns. In the mid-1960s, the rural character of the region was defined by a series of small communities and family landmarks, including Academy, Sparks, and Runnells. Transportation history is clearly legible here, with the Missouri Kansas Texas and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads traversing the plains, and the presence of the Temple Drag Strip highlighting a mid-century shift toward automotive recreation. Local history researchers will find a high density of rural burial grounds, such as Little River Cem, Reeds Lake Cem, and Vails Cem, which provide essential grounding for genealogical study. The map also records the heavy industry of the era through numerous Gravel Pits concentrated near the river banks.
