1961 Map of Nemo

About this map

The Brazos River creates a dramatic series of winding oxbows across the Somervell and Hood County line, including Abby Bend, Cox Bend, and Mitchell Bend. This landscape is defined by its deep river meanders and the rugged limestone topography characteristic of the Glen Rose area. Small rural communities like Nemo, Rainbow, and Georges Creek serve as local anchors, while the presence of Cedar Grove Ch and multiple family burial sites like Fort Spunky Cem and Squaw Creek Cem provide significant touchpoints for genealogical research. The map also documents mid-century land use, from the Pecan Plantation Airport and Camp Arrowhead to the industrial presence of a Gravel Pit and several pipelines crossing the river valley near Squaw Creek.
