1958 Map of North Fort Hood

About this map

Leon River valley and the adjacent Henson Mountains define this mid-century view of the Fort Hood Military Reservation. The map details the transition from rural Coryell County homesteads to military infrastructure, showing the cantonment area of North Fort Hood with its grid of Park Avenue and Central Avenue alongside a Landing Strip. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of family and community landmarks, including King and Smith Cem, Pleasant Grove Cem, and White Mound Ch. The landscape south of the river is marked by sharp topographic points like Robinette Point and Rambo Point, while the eastern portion includes the settlement at Flat. Numerous Borrow Pits and a Quarry suggest the ongoing construction and maintenance of the reservation's roads and facilities during the late 1950s.
