About this map

The town of Morgan serves as a focal point in this mid-1960s survey of Bosque County, situated at the junction of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and a second abandoned rail line. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Steele Creek and the notable elevations of the Powelldale Mountains in the southeast. Smaller settlements like Kopperl are connected by a network of drainage systems, including Plowman Creek, Mesquite Creek, and Raymond Creek, reflecting the importance of water management in this Texas region.

Local landmarks such as the Morgan Cem and a remote Landing Strip provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits and the proximity of the Roadside Park suggest an era of infrastructure development and transit, while the detailed marking of pipelines across the terrain highlights the industrial undercurrents of the rural landscape during this period.
