1947 Map of McMillan Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Fort Hood Military Reservation dominates this landscape, its boundary cutting across the central and western reaches of the Bell and Coryell county line. Established just before this survey, the military presence sits atop a terrain of significant ridges, including the prominent Sevenmile Mountain and the McMillan Mountains. The map captures the area during its post-war transition, showing civilian markers like the Mayberry Cem and the Willow Springs Sch within or bordering the sprawling reservation lands. Along the northern edge, the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad runs parallel to the highway near Hood Village, while the southern reaches are defined by the winding course of the Lampasas River. These features illustrate the intersection of traditional Central Texas ranching and farming life with the massive federal land acquisitions that reshaped this region in the 1940s.
