1962 Map of Purdy Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Mason Mountains dominate the upper half of this mid-century survey, a landscape where the rugged uplift gives way to the lower-elevation settlement of Mason. This county seat is documented at a period of transition, showing the concentration of civic life around the Athletic Field and Roadside Park while rural life persists in the nearby community of Koockville. The map is particularly dense with genealogical data, preserving the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds including Behrens Cem, Crosby Cem, and the adjacent Old Gooch Cem New Gooch Cem. The drainage patterns of Willow Creek, Wolf Creek, and Mitchell Creek define the local topography, which is also shaped by extractive industries like the Quarry and various Gravel Pits north of town. This survey captures the intersection of ranching, local industry, and established township before modern expansion significantly altered the outlying creek beds.
