1965 Map of Moffat

About this map

The rising waters of Belton Reservoir dominate the landscape of Bell County in the mid-1960s, creating an intricate shoreline around Tweedle Mountain and Morgans Point. This survey captures the transition of the Leon River valley into a major water resource, where former terrestrial landmarks like Jubilee Springs and various creek confluences meet the expanded lake. The map documents rural life through the presence of the Moffat Sch and multiple family and community burial grounds, including the Moffat Cem, White Hall Cem, and St Pauls Cemetery. In the southeastern corner, the Temple Corporate Boundary edges toward the Draughon-Miller Airport, signaling the regional growth of nearby Temple. Unique cultural sites of the era are also noted, such as the Sunset Speedway and the youth camp at Camp Kachina.
