2010 Map of Pilot Knob

About this map

Cedron Creek and the North Bosque River anchor this rural landscape in Bosque County, characterized by a network of ranch roads and limestone-rich drainages. The area is dominated by the distinct elevation of Pilot Knob, a prominent terrain feature that likely served as a significant landmark for early travelers through this central Texas corridor. The mapping reveals a sparse but established settlement pattern, where life is organized around water sources like Toms Branch and Stanifer Branch. Local history and genealogy are centered at the Cedron Cemetery, situated near the eastern edge of the quadrangle. This 2010 survey documents the modern layout of rural infrastructure, including Farm Rd 1991 and numerous county routes like Gregory Ranch Rd, showing how modern access continues to follow the natural contours of the Bosque hills.
