1967 Map of Mormon Mill

About this map

Mormon Mill (Historical Site) sits near the southern edge of this map, marking a focal point of early settlement and industry along Hamilton Creek. The site, accompanied by the Mill Pond and Mormon Mill Cem, serves as a anchor for local history near Burger Hollow. Northward, the landscape shifts toward the town of Burnet, where the Southern Pacific railroad and Burnet Municipal Airport reflect mid-century growth. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems including Hairston Creek and the South Fork San Gabriel River, with numerous gravel pits and quarries signaling a rural economy built on mineral extraction. Family heritage is preserved across the countryside in several small burial grounds such as Holland Cem and Norred Cem, while community life is represented by the Rodeo Ground and a Roadside Park along the highway corridor.
