1956 Map of Pottsville

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The unincorporated community of Pottsville serves as the hub of this mid-century Central Texas landscape, situated at the junction of several winding waterways including Cowhouse Creek and Baptist Branch. The map reveals a rural economy transitioning through the mid-1950s, where traditional livestock ranching and agriculture coexist with energy extraction in the Pottsville Gas Field. Numerous infrastructure markers like the Pipeline and scattered Gas Well sites are noted alongside local landmarks of civic life, such as a rural School and the Immanuel Ch. Prominent topographical features like Hoover Knobs rise above the drainage basins of Warren Creek and Mesquite Creek, while family history is anchored by the Pottsville Cem and Immanuel Cem. The western edge of the survey tracks the Comanche Co Hamilton Co boundary, illustrating the jurisdictional lines of the Texas Hill Country fringe.
