1958 Map of Medicine Mound

About this map

The Medicine Mounds, a series of distinct rises including Big Mound and Little Mound, dominate the central Texas landscape along the Hardeman and Foard County line. This 1958 survey captures the region's historical depth through specific commemorative sites, such as the Historical Marker (Pease River Battlefield) south of the Pease River and another noting the Original Townsite of Margaret. The settlement pattern follows the Panhandle and Santa Fe railroad through Chillicothe and down to the rural community of Margaret. Agricultural life is anchored by local institutions like Prairie View Ch and several family or community burial grounds including Big Valley Cem and Thalia Cem. Water management is evident through the Crowell Water Supply and the engineered expanse of Lake Pauline on Wanderers Creek in the northwest.
