About this map

Belton Lake dominates the western landscape of this mid-1960s survey, its winding shoreline creating a complex series of inlets and ridges. The map captures a transitional period for Bell County, where lakeside developments like Morgans Point Resort and Woodland emerge alongside older agricultural settlements like Moffat and White Hall. The topography is defined by the sharp relief of Tweedle Mountain and the deep cuts of Cedar Creek and Kell Branch.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial grounds, including St Pauls Cemetery, White Hall Cem, and Moffat Cem. The southeastern corner shows the expanding Temple corporate boundary, where the Draughon-Miller Municipal Airport stands as a major regional landmark. The presence of the Lakewood Sch and various community centers indicates the social hubs of these established rural neighborhoods before modern suburbanization fully took hold.
