1956 Map of Mosheim

About this map

The North Bosque River winds through this central Texas landscape, marking the boundary between Bosque County and McLennan County. This mid-century survey captures a rural environment defined by creek drainages and small community hubs like Mosheim, where local roads converge near the southern edge. The terrain is notably dissected by Neils Creek and Shoal Creek, with elevations shifting between creek bottoms and uplands where a Stone Quarry and Caliche Pit indicate local mineral extraction. Genealogists will find a significant distribution of family-named burial sites across the hills, including Terrell Cemetery, Kanz Cem, and Barton Cem. Industrial infrastructure is represented by a major Pipeline and the Pendell Pumping Sta located near the settlement of Pendell, illustrating the intersection of traditional ranching land with growing mid-century utility networks.
