1974 Map of Old Noxville

About this map

Old Noxville serves as the primary landmark on this mid-1970s survey of the Hill Country borderlands. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of the James River and the Little Devils River, where water sources like The Big Springs and Bur Oak Spring were essential for the area's ranching operations. The prevalence of named windmills, including the Eclipse Windmill, Turkey Windmill, and Back Pasture Windmill, indicates a highly managed pastoral environment where groundwater was carefully tapped across varied terrain like Bell Hollow and Grays Hollow. Genealogists may find interest in the Noxville Cem and the network of local thoroughfares such as Stapp Road and Midway Road that connected these isolated homesteads and ranching outposts across the Kimble Co Kerr Co boundary.
