1956 Map of Penelope

About this map

Penelope sits at the northern end of this central Texas landscape, where the agricultural patterns of Hill Co and Mc Lennan Co meet. The area is defined by a dense network of seasonal watercourses, including Tehuacana Creek and Little Cottonwood Creek, which carve through the farmland. Local genealogy is well-preserved here through numerous family and ethnic burial sites, such as the Czech National Cem and George Newton Cem, reflecting the heritage of the early settlers.
